Entrance to Chestnut Ridge Cemetery
This is the beautiful entrance to the tiny Chestnut Ridge Cemetery on SR 39. You could pass by this little cemetery without a single notice if you weren’t looking for it. It is on a small hill next to a house. The owners of the house seem to keep this area tended. I knocked on their door to find out about visiting, but no one answered. You will need to park in their driveway to get to the cemetery, but the driveway is pretty wide so you should be out of the way.
Here is the Google Map of the cemetery.
The coordinates are 40.546124, -81.748803
The stones can be found on Find a Grave.
I’m very curious about the Holmes County history and my ancestry. My mother’s maiden name was Holmes. She was one of 18 children. All born in Ohio. I was born in Dayton.
