Residents and families are advised that the 2025 Annual Fall Cleanup for Maple Hill Cemetery and all other Monroe Township cemeteries will take place the week of November 3rd by our cemetery staff.

All decorations that are to be saved must be removed by November 2nd. Items may be put back on gravesites on November 9th. Be advised that all artificial arrangements must be in a non-glass vase, hanging device, or a monument saddle. Please permanently mark the deceased name and contact person on the bottom of a saddle so identification can be made if it is blown off the monument. The cemetery prohibits the placement of landscape rocks around the monuments, glass containers, wire, toys and figurines. These are maintenance and safety issues and interfere with mowing and/or trimming. These items will be removed.


Frederick Cemetery
Monroe Township

Also known as "Mill Creek" is located on the Montgomery County Line Road in the burg of Frederick. This burg was also formerly known as Fidelity and then Fredericktown. Early in the 1800s the Mill Creek Quaker Monthly Meeting Church was located here. Next to this site was their burial grounds.

Frederick Yount, youngest son of John & Mary (Lowe) Yount, had the stone wall built around the cemetery before his death in 1880. Early families of this Quaker Meeting (church)were: Pearson, Jenkins, Compton, Commons, Beeson, Cooper, Earnhart, Coppock, Curtis, Davis, Duncan, Evans, Furnas, Harris, Hollinsworth, Hutchins, Iddings, Inscoe, Jay, Jones, Macy, Mendenhall, Mills, Neal, Patty, Russell, Swallow, Teague, Thomas, Yount and others. It's possible some of these members were buried here. There are monthly Mill Creek Meeting records under "The Ohio Quaker Genealogical Records." Some burials for the Frederick Cemetery could possibly be found in these records.

There have been no official readings of the remaining headstones by township personnel, although there have been early readings by other interested parties.
