Rush Creek Friends Cemetery (Quaker)
Near Byhalia, Union County, OH
Located on the east side of CR351, West Mansfield-Mt. Victory Rd.
(Row 3)

About 1865, a group of Quakers or Friends settled in this area and established the Rush Creek Church on the Williams farm. The Quaker Meetinghouse no longer stands on this ground. This small cemetery situated on a knoll overlooking the countryside, is now abandoned yet remains in fair condition. Many of those who are buried here lived in Hardin, Logan, and Union Counties.
