MAY 30, 1882 – MEMORIAL DAY: "On fame's eternal camping ground, their silent tents are spread." Veterans of American wars buried in Sugarcreek Township, Ohio are: James Cotton (1821-72), Civil War, Hardscrabble Cemetery; Johann Wyss (1828-76), Civil War, Old Shanesville Cemetery; Dr. N.W. Yoder (1837-77), Civil War, Old Shanesville Cemetery; Jacob Baltzly (1793-1867), War of 1812, Old Shanesville Cemetery; Henry Williams (?-1835), War of 1812, Old Shanesville Cemetery; David Resler (1840-1863), Civil War, Albright U.B. Cemetery; James S. Gordon (?-1881), Civil War, Bunker Hill Cemetery; John Teeters (?-1862), Civil War, Bunker Hill Cemetery; Daniel Miller (?-?), Civil War, Miller Family Cemetery; George Richardson (?-?), Richardson Family Cemetery.

Note: Resler/Rasler and Teeters/Tetters both died while serving the Union during the Civil War. Dr. Noah Yoder (pictured) died after the war due in large part to the injuries he suffered in service, and based on how young a few of these men were, I suspect Yoder wasn't the only one. I cannot determine where Miller and Richardson are buried. However, there is a Daniel Miller who fits the age, buried at what's recorded today as Budd Deuker Cemetery, but was a small Miller family cemetery along Spooky Hollow and Old Route 39.

A birdseye – or more accurately, a water tower view – of Shanesville in 1959, facing south. I presume this was taken by Wade Miller, since he's the only person I know who climbed the tower to take photos. It must have been cold up there that day. This was in a folder Roger Weaver shared with me several years ago, which I just stumbled across while doing some other research. I don't recall seeing it before and am not sure of the original source.
