Darby Township Cemetery is located a little north of Cemetery Pike on the east side of Georgesville-Plain City Road (Chillicothe Street), between the road and Little Darby Creek.  Though it is kept mowed it is only in fair condition with many stones broken and laying on the ground, or stacked in the north-east corner of the cemetery.  It is a very old cemetery and hold the remains of many of the early pioneers of the area.  The remains of many veterans are buried here including at least two Revolutionary War Veterans.
