Buchtel Cemetery
Also known as Old Miners Cemetery
Buchtel, Athens County, Ohio, USA
Both Dew Cemetery and Conner Cemetery are on the "Carbon Hill Buchtel Road". Starting at Bessemer Rd, as you travel from Buchtel towards Carbon Hill they are on the left. Dew appears first and apparently straddles both the Athens and Hocking county lines. According to the signage, Conner cemetery picks up where Dew ends. These can be seen and verified using the street view of google maps/earth etc.
Buchtel Cemetery is a totally separate place but just happens to be located on Conner Rd #567. Since it is a relatively short dead end street, there is no street views available. As you travel down Conner #567 away from Bessemer, the cemetery will be on the right. All indications are that it lies completely in Athens County.
A caretaker at Evergreen Cemetery once mentioned that in the old days, this cemetery was referred to as the "Old Miner's Cemetery" - he also explained that as you face it from the road, you will actually be seeing 2 different cemeteries separated by a ditch. The one on the right belongs to St. Patrick church and is called St. Patrick Church cemetery and the one on the left was the Buchtel Cemetery.
Miner Mark Ilderton is here and his military grave registration card refers to him buried in Buchtel Cem. There is more than one death certificate of others that mention the Buchtel/miner combination but apparently some of the death certificates for people at Dew and Conner seem to indicate that person is buried at Buchtel.
At the time of this writing, the map below is correct. I believe that the Conner cemetery listing is also showing the map below but it should be where Dew is located.
