Salem Reformed Church Cemetery
Clearcreek Twp, Warren County, Ohio

Beers 1882 History of Warren County, page 595

"The first German Reformed Church in the township was built about the year 1805, on the farm now owned by Robert Eyer, about two and a half miles southeast of Springboro. It was built of logs, as were all the churches of that day. They afterward built a frame house on the farm of Jacob Null, which was replaced about 1863 by the present house in Springboro - a substantial brick edifice"

On Warner's 1867 Map of Warren County, the location is identified as a "Pres. Ch."
