After attending monthly meetings in Waynesville and
Springborough for many years, members of the Society of
Friends built a log meeting house facing Clyo Road on two
acres of land purchased from Solomon Miller in 1823.
Abandoned as a church in 1858, when most members had
moved out of the township, the structure was converted to
a house only to be destroyed by fire soon after. The burial
ground contains nine markers for eleven members of three
families, but Quaker records show more interred here. In
1979 this cemetery was deeded over to Washington
Township and is currently maintained by the township.Topics and series. This historical marker is listed in these topic lists: Cemeteries & Burial Sites • Settlements & Settlers. In addition, it is included in the Quakerism series list. A significant historical year for this entry is 1823.
