Green Township Cemetery

This slightly rounded section of ground represents the remains of the Green Township Cemetery, sometimes referred to as the "Township Cemetery". This cemetery was located on the south side of Harrison Ave about 80 feet west of Glenmore Ave. This cemetery was a small community cemetery serving the Green Township hamlet known as Cheviot. This cemetery was established in 1822. In 1955, after several decades of neglect, the headstones were removed and the area was made into a grass parking lot. In 1975, the Bethel Church, then known as Westwood Baptist Church, which owned the land, sold the property to the City of Cheviot. The city removed the bodies from the cemetery and any headstones that were left and reinterred the remains and stones here in 1976. A single marker was placed here by the city of Cheviot out of respect to the many pioneers of Green Township and Cheviot who are buried here.
