Jefferson Township cemetery is relatively new -- established in 1896.  It is located in Blacklick Village on the east side of Reynoldsburg-New Albany Road with the entrance almost directly across from Taylor Road.  It is in excellent condition and is cared for by the Jefferson Township Trustees, 6545 Havens Road, Blacklick, OH 43004-9743.  Phone: (614) 855-4260. The present entrance was constructed in about 1936 when the trustees were S. E. Turnbull, Abram Souder, Ben A. Woodruff, and township clerk Orin L. Shadwick.

This page does not contain photographs of all gravesstones in the cemetery. 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
