About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

This is a very old cemetery in Amanda Township of Fairfield County. It is located off the south side of Westfall Road and is not visible from the road because of the woods and brush. It is located on private property, so permission is needed to enter. Historically the hill on which the cemetery is located was called Ward Hill, thus the second name of the cemetery: Ward Hill. The information from the Fairfield County Genealogical Society states there may have been an early Baptist church on the site.

The cemetery is located in Amada Township, Fairfield County, Ohio, and is # 3069 (Van Meter Cemetery / Metre Cemetery / Ward Hill Cemetery) in "Ohio Cemeteries 1803-2003", compiled by the Ohio Genealogical Society.

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) feature ID for the cemetery is 1806877 (Van Meter Cemetery).
