Havens (aka Edgar) Cemetery, Jefferson Twp., Franklin County, OH

Gravestone Photographs

Havens Cemetery is located on the east side of Reynoldsburg-New Albany Rd. south of Havens Corners Road.  This page contains a complete photographic inventory of the cemetery as it appeared in late summer 2001.  Printed sources say that it was established in 1850, but many gravestones have earlier dates.  Though it appears to be well maintained by the township trustees, the cemetery has obviously suffered at the hands of vandals.  There are many overturned and broken gravestones.  Names on the list that have no link were included in previous readings of the cemetery, but were not found in 2001.


Thanks to the generosity of Jefferson Township a complete list (2013) of all burials and lot owners is now available and should be updated regularly: Jefferson Township Cemetery Records
