Located in Bainbridge Township; Section 9 on the south side of Hill Road, one mile east of Friday Road.
Burials - 1851 to 1911
Condition of cemetery presently is poor as many broken and illegible stones present.  Another fact is
with the building of St Joseph Catholic Church and  a newer Catholic cemetery in 1896 in Watervliet, just a few miles away,  families went
to the newer church and its religious and burial needs were handled there. Many of the same surnames
appear in both cemeteries.

St. Mary's of Bainbridge Twp. - originally held in private homes and schoolhouses. Priests were sent from St. Joseph to hold services.
Then in 1860 there was a membership of 15 families and an actual structure was built. Jacob Herman and Joseph Aner (possibly spelled Auer)
were chosen as the first trustees of the newly built church. In the Bainbridge early township history, this must be the German Catholic church.
