Kyser

Kyser Cemetery

a.k.a. Swigart Cemetery

Franklin Twp, Summit County, Ohio

Location: On Swigart Road, off the west side of Manchester Road, about one half mile south of Rt. 619.
Status: Maintained by the township.
History: This cemetery came into use by at least 1848. In 1861 John & Rebecca Kyser and Henry & Sabina Daily deeded land to the Trustees of Kyser Burying Ground for a public buring ground. Although the cemetery was heavily vandalized several years ago, it has been restored and maintained.
Copied: Gravestone inscriptions have been published in our 1980 book "Summit County Cemetery Inscriptions Vol 2" [pages 39-41].

At this time we do not have the manpower to put the inscriptions online. The following surname index, with book page numbers, is for people buried at this cemetery for whom there was a gravestone and inscription.
