Pearson Cemetery

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.


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.
