OLD NEWPORT TOWNSHIP CEMETERY

This page was last updated 06 Sep 2010

This old cemetery is located at the intersection of Newport Road and Turkey Creek Road.  It is still being used; the latest burial being that of Kimberly A. Gogel in August 2002.  The cemetery is well maintained as can be seen in the above photo taken 20 October 2002.  Maintenance is handled by allowing sheep to graze in the fenced in cemetery under the watchful eye of Orianna Haman whose house is  immediately adjacent to the cemetery.  Her husband Robert Haman is buried next to fence.
