The Dublin Cemetery, was established in 1858 as the International Order of Odd Fellows (I.O.O.F.) Cemetery.  Many of the remains from Indian Run Cemetery were moved to this location as were individual stones.  Remains buried at Deardorf Cemetery, originally located southeast of Riverside Drive (US Rt. 33) and Dublin-Granville Road (State Rt. 161) in Perry Township, were also moved here.  The cemetery is maintained by the city of Dublin and is still an active cemetery. Section numbers are shown on the aerial photo (link below).
