The story of Old Armstrong Chapel and Cemetery is written on the streaked, eroded slate stones of the burying ground. Beneath these stones rest hands that carried rifles in the Revolution, reared cabins in the forest, cleared and planted fields, hands that helped bake the bricks in the nearby kiln and pegged timbers sawn in the Armstrong Family's own mill on the Little Miami.
June 22, 1830 marked the 30th anniversary of the Armstrong Family's arrival at Columbia Landing. Four days earlier, Nathaniel Armstrong went before a Justice of the Peace and secured a deed for one acre of land to provide a burying ground and a meeting house or place of worship for the use of ministers in the Methodist Episcopal Church.
The Cemetery of approximately two acres is composed of an old and new section with traditional stones and markers in the old section and flush markers in the new section. The new section also holds a columbarium with 48 niches for cremated remains.
The graves of the Armstrong's and the Earhardt's are the ones who founded the church in 1830.
The Finches sent sons to 4 wars from The Revolutionary War, The War of 1812, The Civil War and World War I.
Streets in Indian Hill and other areas bear the names of the Demar, Kugler, Keller and Muchmore families who are all buried in the Armstrong Cemetery.
Frank Finch planted trees around the Chapel and Cemetery 100 years ago and many are still standing.
Nurse Amie Demar Truesdell served with distinction in World War I.
Victor Heintz, Congressman and World War I hero helped form the Cincinnatus Association with its reform movement in City government.
Many victims of the flu epidemic of World War I are buried in unmarked graves in the south central part of the Cemetery.
Most of the people buried here are those who lived, loved and were loved, worked, raised families, voted, volunteered, served God and met God.
