Union cemetery or Old Masterton cemetery, Bethel Township, Monroe County, Ohio.   I did not visit this cemetery.  The Information is from “Monroe County, Ohio Records” by Catharine F. Fedorchak, Volume VIII.  Catharine did a reading of this cemetery in May 1969.  Her description is:  “Abandoned Cemetery, on the McPeek Farm, near Masterton (also known as Lebanon) near the Washington-Monroe Co. boundary.  A Mr. Fliehman told us of this one, and it is really back in the woods.  Arley Byers kept on tramping around until he found it, and Alma Miller and I finally caught up with him.  These were only a few readable stones in May of 1969 – although I imagine the cemetery had been much larger at one time.  It is in a heavily wooded area.”  This cemetery was read on 10 April 2014 by Darlene Fleeman, Mark Koogler, Matthew Koogler & John Ogden.  John Ogden sent me the information as follows:  This cemetery is on private party owned by Jim and Darlene Fleeman, and the outline of the church was discovered by tracking the nail patterns with a metal detector.  The church was situated right in front of the cemetery.  10 additional stones were found with a probe for a total of 16 markers copied.  There are numerous broken stubs of other markers, and it is estimated there are at least that many more and perhaps as many as 50 plus stones originally.  This was an Associated Reformed Presbyterian Church called Union Church located on the property of Thomas Masters.”
