The above cemetery overview photo, partial readings and tombstone photos below have been generously donated by Robert M. Sizelove, Sr., on 17 July 2005.
The most recent updte to this page made on 19 Dec., 2010.

I found this cemetery entrance located on south side of Oakland-Stoutsville Rd. in Stoutsville, Ohio Go south on SR 159 off US route 22, turn west on Oakland-Stoutsville Rd, this is the next road south east of Bowers Rd. Maple Hill Cemetery is very large and well cared for by the township trustees. I would estimate that over 3,000 individuals are buried here. The transcriptions below represent only a small sampling and are not in any particular order There's an office/residence located at the entrance of the cemetery and I found the secretary to be very polite and most helpful, but busy, so would caution you not to ask for surname searches.
