Chapel and cemetery

Do you know where this "chapel & cemetery" is mixdenny? If so, don't keep the secret, please.

No secrets kitb! All I know about this cemetery is the chapel name is 5 letters probably ending in "ts" or "te".

I think this is Swamp College Cemetery and Beaver Chapel located in Celina, Ohio (I've pinned location on map). I believe these rolls of photos from 1967 are actually from Mercer County, Ohio, not Medina County.

Looks like it, Amy. Mercer County was my first guess as the roll series name (CME) needs a county that starts with "M".

Thank you AmyZutz!
I know it's easy to forget that just because you know where the place is at doesn't mean the rest of us do. Please mixdenny………..you have a good knowledge of a lot of these aerials, but you need to give us the names of the roads where these are located at. I.E.~~~~~"This is at the intersection of Elm & Smith, anytown, State" It helps us to get our bearings and I find it darn interesting. Thank you for all the ones you have labeled for us.

Yes, this is Swamp College Cemetery, on Karch Rd, west of Celina, OH. Several generations of my Dad's family are buried here. I have attended several family funerals here at Beaver Chapel. It's a lovely, serene setting.

Hi Pam! Thank you so much for sharing your personal connection to Swamp College Cemetery in Mercer County. It's fascinating to hear about your family history and the memories you have attending family funerals at Beaver Chapel. With the photo taken in 1967, could you tell us more about how the area has changed over the years? Were there any specific landmarks or features that you remember from that time? We'd love to learn more about Mercer County in the past.
