The OES visited the Paint Creek Memorial
Cemetery on October 18, 2002. The cemetery, just off of Old Xenia Road, is also
known as Paint Creek Cemetery, Paint Township Cemetery, and Withrow Cemetery.
The original cemetery may have been established in the 1820s, as those were the
oldest tombstones we found during our visit. There were tombstones from Civil
War veterans up to more recent wars. A newer section was added to the cemetery
in 1966 and is currently still in use. Many of the tombstones are still in good
shape, but there are a few that have been weathered or broken.
