West Liberty Cemetery


LINK TO ALL TRANSCRIBED CHAUTAUQUA COUNTY CEMETERIES


The listing and photographs of the West Liberty Cemetery was made by Carolyn Sue (Tharp) Joy in 2007.

The cemetery is located on the north side Union Road in S12, T32, R12 of the northern part of Salt Creek Township. It is on a side road off a curve on Union Road and only a small wooden sign marks the entrance road to the cemetery. Persons looking for it may have to inquire of the local citizens for the location. See photo of entrance.

It is well cared for but there are many graves with no words; i.e., metal markers, sandstones, flower beds, etc. The earliest burial (according to grave stones) is that of William Page, a Civil War Vet, who died in 1876.


Lines denoted by *** are names from obituaries that have been added to Carolyn's list. These names are links to the obituary.

If you have an obit of a person either listed or unlisted and would like to share it with others, I would be happy to post the obit and link to it. DET
