FAIRCHILD CEMETERY

     BLANCHARD TOWNSHIP, PUTNAM TOWNSHIP, OHIO

     Located in section 25 just west of the Hancock/Putnam county line.  Start at Highway US-224 at the county line.  Drive south over the Blanchard River for almost a mile.  After you come to a junction where a road goes straight east only.  Park your car there and follow the fence row that goes straight west, about 300 or 400 yards back there you will enter the woodlot.  Stones are about 25 yards into the woods.
     This unkept graveyard has only a few tombstones left, and those that are here are broken in many places.  Vandels have all but destroyed this cemetery.  The following is what we were able to muster in December 1979.  Missing parts is because the stones are in pieces on the ground.
