Mt. Ayr Church and Cemetery
It is shown on the 1895 Plat Map of Jefferson
Township
on the line between section 31 and 32.
The intersection now is at the junction of Benton Avenue
and Merrimac Road.
The church was on the NE corner of the
intersection.
The church and all stones are gone. The story goes that a
farmer destroyed the
cemetery but I hope the stones were moved to another
cemetery.
Robert Patton's
father was pastor of this church at one time.
