Givens Chapel Cemetery
Cemetery is located in Pike County, Ohio southeast of Waverly on Germany Road off state highway 32/124. The Cemetery is active, clean and routinely maintained. The cemetery is partially fenced and is adjacent to Germany road. The cemetery is bordered on the west by Givens Chapel, on the south by Germany road, on the east by wooded area and the north by CSX Railroad. Photographs of cemetery panorama.
To reach the cemetery from Waverly, Ohio go south on state highway 23, go east on state highway 32/124, then south on Germany Road.
GPS coordinates of the cemetery are 39o 03' 01"N and 08o 255' 50"W.
Cemetery contains ~550 graves marked with headstones. There are also un-identified graves marked with no headstones. There are also many headstones that could not be transcribed. Hopefully you may be able to identify these unknown headstones and provide me that information.
Visitation and photography done on 5 September 2006. It had rained just prior to my visitation and many of the headstones were partially wet when the photographs were taken. This accounts for the odd coloration on some of the headstones.
After my visitation I consulted the "Seal Township Cemeteries, Pike County, Ohio, Tombstone Inscriptions" published by the Pike County Chapter of the Ohio Genealogical Society in 1986. Kathryn and Frank Donohue copied the cemetry in 1978. In the list below you will find several names in light gray font. These names are contained in the Seal Township Cemteries book but where not located during my visitation to the cemtery.
