My thanks to Mr. Sam Bowers, a Perry Township Trustee, for the following update about the maintenance of the Sugar Grove (Methodist) Cemetery in Perry Township, Fayette County, Ohio:
~~~~~~~~~~~
"Hi Linda, The Prosecuting Attorney’s office called me and they traced the deed to the Sugar Creek cemetery all the way back to 1850 and the church does own the cemetery. This makes it a private cemetery due to the fact that they own it and they are responsible for maintaining the cemetery. The Prosecuting Attorney’s office did not find any info as to when or why the trustee’s started taking care of the cemetery."
