Ohio Cemeteries published by the Ohio Genealogical Society says that there
is an "Old" Cemetery in Union Township on Nine Mile Rd. Also an Unnamed
Cemetery at the home of A.G. Walsh on Nine Mile Rd. Another Unnamed
Cemetery on Round Bottom Rd, half-way between Melford and Perintown. Owned
by George Deevey Parker, 1948

This book was published in 1998 - but there's no telling how old the
information is or who now owns the properties mentioned.
