All that is known about this cemetery was learned from a mention in a booklet titled Wadsworth Village Cemetery; Wadsworth, Ohio: Steam Printing House; 1878 (pg. 7). It reads as such:
“A ground was also laid off and used near a log church, on the farm of Lawrence Baughman, now owned by Dr. A.L. Simmons, in the southeast part of the township; but the dead were all removed to other places years ago.”
A search of old maps shows one parcel that is owned by both Baughman and Simmons. It is a 117 acre parcel located in Tract 1, Lot 7. Nothing is known about who was interred there or where they have been removed to. Interesting, though, as found in W.H. Perrin, J.H. Battle, and W.A. Goodspeed, History of Medina County and Ohio, Chicago: Baskin & Battey, 1881, pg. 443:
“Lorentz Baughman, brother of Adam, lived on the farm now owned by Dr. Simmons. Died in 1840, aged 67.”
Nothing about his place of burial can be determined now. Given the cemetery being located on his farm at his time of death, he may have been interred there.
