Welcome to Butler Cemetery!
Chesterfield Township, Fulton County, Ohio







The U.S. Government deeded land to Harlow Butler in 1835 and the following year the Butler family became the fourth family to settle in Chesterfield township. In that same year, the first burial was made at the corner of the farm on grounds that became known as the Butler Cemetery. In 1866, Harlow and Mary Butler deeded the cemetery grounds to the trustees of Chesterfield Township.


There are soldiers from the Civil War, World War I, World War II, and the Korean War buried here.
