CLOUGH BAPTIST CHURCHYARD CEMETERY NEWTON CEMETERY ANDERSON TOWNSHIP
This pioneer cemetery is located 150 ft. south of Clough Pike on west side of Bridge Road
(for Bogart Road) In Anderson Twp. The Clough Baptist Church was established at this location
in February 1802 and the deed was recorded December 8, 1802 for one and ninety-three hundreths
acres of land. In the early 1800's, Rev. John CORBLY, a baptist minitster, who had preacched
at Newton Baptist Church, thought a church should be erected in this area. Only one other
church was in existence at that time in all of the township...Salem M. E. Church. Newton at
that time was called Mercersburg. The first church burned to the ground in 1820 but rebuilt
the same year. The last meeting was held sometime in 1839.
Today only the cemetery remains. The Township Trustees care for the cemetery having acquired
a right of way into the cemetery which had been landlocked for years. The general condition
of the site is poor with many stones flat on the ground. There are probably burials here
without gravestones and the cemetery is closed for burials. The following gravestones were
recorded in October 1988 by Mrs. Mary H. Remler and Mrs. Nancye L. Stern. Prior publication
of records for this cemetery were in Ohio Records and Pioneer Families, Vol. 20, p.147;

Robert D. Craig, 1963), p.17; and The Mt. Washington Press, (Mt. Washington, Cincinnati, OH),
