Always take Peters Pike to get to airport as its a beautiful drive and little traffic. I seem to remember an animal cemetary out that direction and I did go once years ago. Have forgotton the name of it and where it was. May have been on Fredrick Pike. Any info on it would be appreciated as would like to go again.

There are stories of a white german shepherd that was buried at the Narrows wandering around the back of Cricket Holler. My son and a couple of his friends saw it when they worked there. The dog ghost just wanders about, and does not go near anyone.

I can't believe that there would be a flooding problem because the Narrows was off of Fredrick Pike (which is near the river) but was high up on a hill. We went there at night as teenagers and took turns scaring each other while making barking noises.

It seems to me that she got off pretty easily.
When Frederick built that section of his Pike (toll road) along the Stillwater River, he came across a stretch where it wasn't possible to make the road wide enough due to that hill. So, he built his Pike along the river and it narrowed there, thus becoming "The Narrows"

What is left of the cemetery? Any buildings? Are there still tombstones? Can someone go out there and walk around? I have never heard of this place.

Don't know what shape it would be in but was a very nice place with headstones and decorations. Believe most are still there but no new burials in a number of years. Have no idea if people still have access to a walk through or not. Anyone out there who has info on it?

My husband and I tried to find the entrance to the former cemetery, but all we found were long driveways to private houses. Wondering how to find it. Found the boy scout camp grounds and Cricket Hollow, wondering if that is how to access the cemetery.

The "Narrows" sign has been removed. I didn't see it today when I drove by. The driveway is the first driveway south of the pull off area. I didn't see the gateway there either, but may have been covered by the trees and weeds. I don't think the pet cemetery is open to the public, however, I could be wrong. A call to the Butler Township Trustees office should get you an answer. (937)890-6735

Saw an old, former road which was blocked off by mature trees and such, but my husband said that the trees looked too old to be the former road. Wondering if you can access it from the Cricket Hollow where the scout camp is. Thanks

Thank you, I will have to check it out next time I am out that way. Sad how it has been overgrown, as I would imagine people would still be going out there to visit their pet's graves. Curious how big it is.
