Hill Cemetery is located along the west bank of the Scioto River in Concord Township, Delaware County, OH. Take State Route 745 north from the village of Rathbone for about 1 mile. Find a gate and a small sign on your right (east side of SR 745) - park at the gate and walk east along a mowed path for a quarter of a mile. (You can now disregard the "rattlesnake warnings" found in earlier descriptions of this cemetery - they are long gone - but the path can become quite muddy during rainy seasons.) One early report regarding Hill Cemetery indicates that there are no fewer than six veterans of the American Revolution buried there. The cemetery was created from an acre of land set aside by Stephen Hill, a soldier of the American Revolution who homesteaded the property in about 1812. The oldest known burial at Hill Cemetery took place in 1823 when Stephen buried his 93-year-old mother Elisabeth (Sheely) Hill.
