      "For a number of years they worshipped in a log house east of Maineville under the leadership of Elder Moses Dudley their first pastor.  The Baptist Cemetery was laid out on the east side of the log meeting house from a drawing made by Elder Moses Dudley.  The first burial was Elijah Tufts, December 19, 1811. After the old log meeting house was torn down the burial ground was enlarged by the "New Addition to the Baptist cemetery".  The addition was west of the original cemetery, and joined the original burial ground just beyond the site of the old log meeting house."

Cemetery History

This cemetery was started by the Maineville Baptist Church.  The cemetery was located east of the log meeting house.  After the log meeting house was torn down the cemetery was enlarged and the new burial plots were located west of the original cemetery.  The first person buried here was Elijah Tufts in 19 Dec 1811.  Beers History of Warren County page 615 contains the following passage. "The Maineville Burying Ground is of later origin. The following, copied from an inscription on a stone, probably marks about the time of its establishment as a resting-place for the dead: “Sacred to the memory of Peter Dudley, who departed this life October 22, 1819.” A "Memorial Garden" type addition was added across the street in 1988. Many veterans buried here.  Revolutionary War veterans include: Ephraim Stevens and Francis Tufts.
