It is situated on the township lines of Lee and Ohio and maintained beautifully by Lee Township. The building, which was erected in 1891, was originally Morton Ridge Lutheran Church. Reflecting the German-Swiss heritage of the area services were conducted in German prior to WW1 and then English and German until about 1925. The north side of the building contain the oldest tombstones with several inscriptions in German. The cemetery is located in a quiet, tranquil area with a beautiful view to the west of the Monroe County countryside. The church closed in 1960 but an annual Homecoming is held in the summer. Covered picnic tables are behind the building. This census was begun with the first tombstone next to the building and road and going down the row then to the next row going back to the building and etc. Plots 1-63 are on the north side. The old section near the road seem to contain several unmarked graves in the green areas. Through out the cemetery there are several graves with stones marking a resting place some with initials. Thanks and credit to the Monroe County Genealogical Society for their first census in 1983 which made the reading of some stones much easier. Please Note: GAR 1861-1865 is a marker from the Civil War; being from the South I was informed it stood for the Greatest Army of the Republic....There are several veterans of various wars that rest here.
