As far as is visible from Sycamore Road, the field is planted in corn up to the edge of this road, and nothing more is visible from Sycamore Road. On the Simmons Church Road frontage, there are no interruptions to the cornfield. A resident of the home on this farm states there is no cemetery at the location.
There were only four interments at this location.
The cemetery was marked and labeled on the archived 1990 Knox County Tax Map. According a c. 1942 map of the cemetery, Stiger Cemetery was located 500 feet south of Sycamore Road, and 0.25 mile east of Simmons Church Road. In the 1991 published cemetery survey of Knox County, this cemetery was recorded at 150 yards SE of the corner of Simmons Church Road and Sycamore Road on the Dallas Miller Farm in an open field. A widely-copied, post-1980 Knox County Highway map that has been annotated with all cemetery locations in the county indicates this cemetery as Milford Twp. #6 on their key.
The former village of Milfordton was the closest settlement to the location in the 19th Century.
The cemetery is located in Milford Township, Knox County, Ohio, and is # 6237 (Stigers Cemetery) in "Ohio Cemeteries 1803-2003", compiled by the Ohio Genealogical Society.
A 1969 publication, following a 1964 transcribing of the cemetery, notes: "In open field, 4 stones at base of lone Ash tree. At least 1 stone has been carried away. Graveyard completely destroyed 27 Feb 1964.
