Liberty Cemetery
Photo by Phil Stewart
Liberty Cemetery is located on Route WW in the northwest corner of Mercer County, 3.8 miles northeast of Cainsville in Harrison County. From the north edge of Cainsville, go east on Route WW 3.8 miles. At the top of the hill, there will been a brushy fenceline with a metal farm gate that says "PM" on the left (west) side of the road. The gate is not normally locked, but the property is posted against hunting and fishing. Go through the gate and proceed on the mowed path for approximately 300 yards to a "Y". Go to the right. The cemetery is at the end of the mowed path.
Although the cemetery is very old and appears to have been neglected in years past, someone is now (2003) keeping it mowed and accessable. There are indications of other lost burials in the cemetery, and several stones are down, broken and/or worn to the point of being unreadable.
