Here is a listing of everyone buried at the Old Red Oak Graveyard (Baptist graveyard, Union Township, Red Oak, Ohio). There used to be a red brick church here, supposedly built by Alexander Jolly, but it is long gone. A painting of it is hanging in the nearby Red Oak Presbyterian Church, which is still, fortunately, in one piece and doing well.

Recent information (as of 2008) generously provided by Myron Flaugher. Possible text errors noted with [sic], but transcribed by me as typed in the original document (pages 60-69 of a much larger book of Union Township cemeteries);

This cemetery is also know as the Liggett Cemetery and Linn Cemetery. The name of the road that the cemetery is on is Linn Cemetery Road. There is a road sign in place now. Go to www.browncountyengineer.org and go to GIS, then you will need to download the map reader, once it downloads, click on GIS in the middle of the page. The map of Brown County will come up, all your controls are on the left. There is a cemetery icon on the left and will bring up many cemeteries.

From the book listing various Union Township cemeteries;

"This old cemetery is located on West Henry and Linn Roads, west of Route 62 and Red Oak. The grounds are overgrown, however most of the stones were standing. The 1876 Atlas of Brown County, Ohio, indicated a Baptist Church adjacent to this cemetery. We were informed that this cemetery is also referred to as "Old Brick Red Oak". Unidentified graves were evident. Copied April 1963"
