St. Mary's/Grove Cemetery
Hardin County, Kenton, OH
(Section C, Row 22)

At one time St. Mary's Cemetery was owned by the Kenton Catholic congregation, purchased by Rev. A.S. Siebenfoercher. The statue of Christ on the Cross remains at the center of the plot, marking the location of St. Mary's within Grove Cemetery. Today St. Mary's is completely surrounded by Grove, except for the west side which borders the road.
