Hershey Cemetery
a.k.a. Centennial or Revere Road Cemetery
Richfield Twp, Summit County, Ohio

Location: On the east side of Revere Rd just north of Everett Rd, across from Hillcrest School. Close to the Bath - Richfield Twp line.
Status:  Fenced in and maintained, with access through gate on Revere Rd. Some broken stones resting on fence along east & north sides. No legible inscriptions on these stones. Some stones were difficult to read. Letters or numbers that are underlined [ 1845 ] are the opinion of the transcriber. Hyphens in place of letters or numbers [ 18-- ] [ -- Feb ---- ] indicate the inscription is completely worn off.
Copied:  March 1995 by Marlene Diefendorf. Compared with work done in 1934 by Alice Ozmun and Eunice Ellis.
