The History of Union County, Ohio (1883) describes this cemetery as follows:
This is now the principal burial ground of the township. It was first used as a family and neighborhood burying place in an early day, and was then owned by George Brown, and subsequently by H. Burnham. About 1828-30, the citizens of Milford and vicinity entered upon the work of raising money by subscription to buy the small tract of land in which interments had been made. This was accomplished, and it remained thus till about 1840, when Mr. Burnham and wife deeded 1 5/8 acres of land to the Trustees of the township and their successors to office for cemetery purposes. In 1874, the Trustees purchased 1 1/4 acres as an addition to the above. March, 1882, they purchased about five acres more, lying on the east of the old cemetery, and inclosed the whole with a good fence; and laid it all out in lots, drives and walks. Also, in the spring of 1882, the Trustees erected a substantial stone vault. They have set out trees and shrubbery, and ornamented the grounds till it is now a beautiful depository for the dead.

The History of Union County, Ohio (1883) describes this cemetery as follows:
Perhaps one of the first burial places was at the Wood Cemetery, situated about one and a half miles east of Milford, on the north bank of the Big Darby Creek. This was first established as a family and neighborhood burial place, where many found early and premature graves. The gravestones here show burial to have been made as early as 1813, and it is probable there are some graves, unmarked, which received bodies at a much earlier date. Here rest many of the Woods, Reeds, Gabriels, Gills, Erwins and others of the noble and venerated pioneers. July 17, 1871, this piece of ground, consisting of 53 poles, owned by George and Josiah Reed, and 53 poles, owned by Samuel Wood, making 106 poles, was, by the above-mentioned owners, deeded to the Township Trustees, who have fenced it in with a good board fence, and, with their successors to office, are by duty bound to see that the cemetery is kept fenced and carefully preserved.
