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.

It was named,The Narrows. It was on Fredrick,A little south of Peters pike.It's closed now.It was the source of quite a bit of controversy back in the early 80's I believe.
I used to squirrel hunt behind it in the 60's and 70;s.

I recall the controversy. I believe that the grounds would flood and carry the buried remains in the water to drift "wherever". Health and sanitation concerns, mainly.

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.

PET CEMETERY OWNER SENTENCED TO SERVICE
Dayton Daily News (OH) - Saturday, March 17, 1990
Sandra L. French, who was found guilty in January of failing to bury dead animals at her Butler Twp. pet cemetery , was sentenced Friday to do community service for the Humane Society of Greater Dayton.
Ms. French was also assessed more than $3,000 in court costs, and placed on probation for two years.
The sentence was handed down in Vandalia Municipal Court by Judge Harold "Bud" Lecrone. Lecrone suspended a one-year jail term and more than $5,000 in fines.
The sentence stemmed from operations of the Narrows pet cemetery at 6330 Frederick Pike, where the unburied remains of about 40 animals were discovered last August.
Ms. French pleaded no contest in January to improperly disposing of dead animals. She also pleaded no contest to failure to file a deed restriction for the property and failure to register a dog.
By law, pet cemeteries must file deed restrictions that limit the land to pet cemetery use forever. This prevents the property from being sold for other uses. Lecrone gave Ms. French a year in jail and a $5,000 fine for the violation, but suspended both.
The judge ruled that she must pay the $250 fine for improperly disposing of dead animals, but he suspended a $100 fine for the dog registration violation.
The judge also required Ms. French to pay more than $3,000 in court costs associated with her cases. And as a condition of probation, Lecrone barred Ms. French from future ownership of, or involvement with, any pet cemetery .
Ms. French will be required to do 240 hours of community service. Of this, 120 hours must be spent at the Humane Society, 1727 Danner Ave., Dayton.
Another 80 hours will be spent helping the Narrows ' new owner locate graves and records of the pet cemetery 's operation. During the remaining 40 hours, she must write letters to owners of Ohio's 57 other pet cemeteries apologizing for damaging the credibility and respectability of all pet cemeteries .

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"
