The cemetery has around 7,000 burials. Not all graves had tombstones, some tombstones have been buried and possibly some tombstones have been removed from the cemetery. Burial locations have been added when known. There are over 3,000 photographs tied to this site (http://rootsweb.ancestry.com/~ohbutcem/LemonTwpCem/MTCem/MTCem.htm) “The old Middletown Cemetery originally contained four acres, in the south-east quarter of section No. 28. This ground was laid off by James HEATON, who surveyed it, thirteen lots being set aside for a potter's-field. The original trustees were Israel GIBSON, John M. BARRET, and Robert CAMPBELL. This was the 30th of May, 1827.
