This online index only lists the individual, death date (if known) and reference page. We are creating a master index of everyone who is buried in this county and their burial location to aid researchers. We are especially in need of people buried here who have no stones or whose stones no longer exist. If you have any of this information or if you have additional information for anyone who is buried in this cemetery, please email the Warren County Genealogical Society.

". . .The first German Reformed Church in the township was built about the year 1805, on the farm now owned by Robert Eyer, about two and a half miles southeast of Springboro. It was built of logs, as were all the churches of that day. They afterward built a frame house on the farm of Jacob Null, which was replaced about 1863 by the present house in Springboro—a substantial brick edifice. . . ."

Cemetery History

On private property over hill beyond small lake. Few stones and all in very poor condition. One of the oldest cemeteries in the township. Very few stones still exist. Many have been lost, or are buried. Supposedly, a few were at one time crumbled to make a dam for a farm pond. Henry Null who moved to the areas in 1798 (father of Christian and Charles Null) is among those buried in this cemetery. Also see the [Second] Salem Reformed Church Cemetery

"According to a Null-Kesling descendant: Christian Null was buried in the old "Eyer" Cem. by his father Henry Null Sr., and that his children put up a memorial stone for him in the Clear Cr. Ch. Cem. [Null Cemetery] to honor his love for the church."
