Mendenhall Cemetery in Yorkshire, Ohio

 One of the things I would love to do in my lifetime is to visit all of my known direct ancestors gravesites. A lot of the more recent ancestors are buried in Dayton, Ohio in the Calvary Cemetery. My 5th Great-Grandfather, however, is not buried there. 

Richard Mendenhall was born on 14 Nov 1794 in Guilford County, North Carolina. He moved to Ohio where most of my recent and myself are from. He passed away on 25 April 1871 in Darke County, Ohio at the age of 76. Richard is buried in the Mendenhall Cemetery in Yorkshire, Darke County, Ohio. I'm not sure if this cemetery is named after him or one of his relatives.
