This cemetery (is/was) located next to the old Ash Chapel Church building (a Methodist Episcopal Church). The cemetery has a rather interesting story. I am told that most of the graves were marked with fieldstones. Through the years they sund and got grassed over and some were vandalized, and there are only 3 headstones left now. The property owner had laid them down so nothing would happen to then and they are now covered with sod. But the owner was able to tell us what the names were. Ralph Smith, Theodocia Keller, and Delcie O. Keller. I looked their death records up and was able to find Ralph's and Delcie's. One thing that remains a mystery is how many people are still buried here. There are LOTS of unmarked graves (only 3 of them being marked) and the cemetery (according to Great Depression Era Maps) measured 40ft x 80ft. (80ft. parallel to the road.) Some people were re-interred, such as Daniel Wesley Ash, the founder of the Church and the cemetery. It will remain a mystery how many and who are buried here.

(P.S. Sory I did not add a map to his cemetery. I would have, but for some reason the map is not working on here, so if you can help me with that, please leave me a message on my profile page.)
