Middletown Cemetery was originally located near the Great Miami River, but after years of flooding the cemetery was endangered and a new cemetery was built on higher ground. Over the years, 7 new acres have been added to the cemetery and the cemetery has become the responsibility of the City of Middletown after the it ran into financial difficulties.
Now a new problem has emerged. The stone vault is endangered of being lost if it is not repaired before this winter. The cost to repair the vault is $70,000 which will pay for repairing the buildings stonework, a new roof, new steel doors, building’s interior and patio. When the project is done the Stone Vault will be made into an informational and educational center for the cemetery.
