Description	:	Cox-Gray-Myers Cemetery Perry Township, Monroe Co., Ohio The name of this cemetery is unknown it's been called the Cox-Gray-Myers cemetery reflecting the only names on the tombstones there. This cemetery is a good example of one that is fading into oblivion and is almost sure to be lost in a few more years. It is also a good example why it is important to identify the location of cemeteries by latitude and longitude measurement because it is a cemetery that nearly defies being located from verbal directions.

Read More	Cox-Gray-Myers Cemetery Perry Township, Monroe Co., Ohio The name of this cemetery is unknown it's been called the Cox-Gray-Myers cemetery reflecting the only names on the tombstones there. This cemetery is a good example of one that is fading into oblivion and is almost sure to be lost in a few more years. It is also a good example why it is important to identify the location of cemeteries by latitude and longitude measurement because it is a cemetery that nearly defies being located from verbal directions. Nevertheless, let’s try to describe its location. Beginning in Woodsfield, Ohio drive south on Ohio Rt. # 800 a distance of about 3.5 miles to the site of the Jackson Ridge Church of Christ. One of the first reference points will be the intersection of Rt 255 with Rt 800. Go about one quarter mile further along Rt. 800 to the intersection with County Road Rt. 40. This is in the vicinity of the Monroe County Centennial Barn (2003) that will be on the left of Rt. 800 across from the Jackson Church of Christ. Take Rt. 40 (also known as Greenbrier Road) to the right for about 3 miles. Look for Twp. Road 627 that will intersect Rt. 40 on your right. Follow T-627 about 1 miles to T-626 that intersects on your left. Take 626 and within a couple hundred yards, you will come to a lane to a house on your left (The house is not visible from the road, however another small building will be visible). Take this lane (about 100 feet) to near the house and ask directions and permission at the house. As you enter the house lane, the house will be in front and to your left. The cemetery lies to your right a couple hundred yards. It is on top of the ridge leading off to your right and completely enclosed in trees. The cemetery will not be visible until you are quite close to it. [For a close approximation of the location of this cemetery, on a map of Monroe County draw an arc with a radius of 8-miles from the center and to the east of Stafford, Ohio. Then, draw an arc with a radius of 4.8-miles from the center and to the south of Woodsfield. The intersection of the two arcs will be close to the location of this cemetery. The land in this area is very rugged.] (Numbers in the chart below are the approximate, relative locations of graves in the Cox-Gray-Myers cemetery.
