Pearson Cemetery
Monroe Township

Also known as "Old Concord" and "Friends Cemetery" is located just north of State Route 571 on the East Side of Peters Pike in Monroe Township, Miami County. The cemetery sits behind the Monroe Grange. As is the case in many old cemeteries, there are no records. The many "Pearsons" who are buried there were prominent pillars in the community.

Mrs. Nancy L. Creech and Mrs. Marjorie M. Buckles read the existing stones in 1996. The earliest known burial that was recorded was Eliza Jenkins who died in 1822. There are a number of stones with no dates or unreadable dates. Therefore, we cannot assume that this is the actual earliest burial.
