Sweetwater Town Cemetery

Memorials	:	0
Location	:	Douglas County, USA
Description	:	This cemetery served as the town cemetery for the mill village that housed workers at Sweetwater Manufacturing Company. The mill commenced operations in 1849 and was destroyed by Sherman's troops in 1864 because it made cloth for Confederate uniforms. Workers were removed from the site and were shipped north of the Ohio River by train. There are about 100 graves marked only by fieldstones that date from 1849 to 1864, the fifteen years that the village existed. Since 2009 it has been cleaned every autumn by a Douglas County Sheriff's inmate crew supervised by the Douglas County Cemetery...
