The cemetery (Holy Rood Catholic Cemetery) is described on pages 48-50 of Hamilton County, Ohio Burial Records: Volume Seven Springfield Township Cemeteries, published by Heritage Books, Bowie, Maryland for the Hamilton County Chapter of the Ohio Genealogical Society, Cincinnati, Ohio, © 1994.

Per the cemetery description in Hamilton County, Ohio Burial Records: Volume Seven Springfield Township Cemeteries, burial records exist only from 1887 through the last burial in the 1920s, although the cemetery was in use prior to 1887 and is shown on a 1869 Glendale city map. The cemetery was filled by the 1920s, and parish burials were made elsewhere. Later, some burials were moved from this cemetery to the catholic section of Oak Hills Cemetery. From 1930 through 1970, stones and monuments along with the cemetery ironwork gate and large crucifix disappeared from the cemetery, leaving just three monuments/stones visible by 1982.
