   My Great-Great-Grandfaterher, Levi Stahl, is buried in Bunker Hill Cemetery. He in fact built the Dunkard Church of Bunker Hill, but I do not have a date. Could anyone tell me where the cemetery is located, and whether they have any information on Levi Stahl, barn builder, carpenter and shoemaker?

     Hello, William,

     The Bunker Hill Cemetery is in Berlin Township. You can find a listing for it on the cemetery site under the township tab. The cemetery is located at the corner of County Road 77 and County Road 168 in Berlin Township.

       Thank you for the information. My brother, Jim, was in Bunker Hill yesterday and did not find it, although he may not have known where to look. I’ve looked on Google Maps, and can’t see anything that looks like a cemetery on that corner. On which corner of 77 and 168 is it located? And are the headstones still there?

       My brother also learned that the old Bunker Hill Church had been used more recently as a storage shed. He was told it was in the NE corner of 77 and 62, but was torn down last year for road improvements. It’s too bad we did not know at the time, since Jim is looking for a small, old church to move to the Western Reserve Museum of Farms and Equipment.

       Finally, do you know if any old pictures of the church, or new pictures of the “storage building,” exist?

       Here is a little more about Levi Stahl, and some Dunkard / Brethren churches:

       If you have any corrections or additions, I would be very grateful.

   I was almost positive that my grandparents were buried at Bunker Hill Cemetary. I checked your listing and didn’t find their names. My grandmother, Lucy D. Troyer died in the 1940′s and my grandfather, Moses S. Troyer in 1960.

   Is this list comprehensive? It was surprising to not see any Troyers listed. I am wanting to try and find their graves this fall. Thank you.

   Hello Sherilyn,

   They are buried in the Swartzentruber Cemetery in Berlin Twp. I tried to find it on the map, but it is not listed, and our cemetery book does not list the location. If I find out where it is located, I will let you know.
