Gravestone Index

Headley Cemetery is among the earliest cemeteries in Franklin County having been established in 1810.  It is located on the south side of Clark State Road, east of Reynoldsburg-New Albany Road.  It is maintained by the Jefferson Township Trustees.

This index was created in 1997 by the young men of Boy Scout Troop 776 in Gahanna as an Eagle project under the direction of Josh McWilliams and then Scoutmaster Bill McWilliams. The data was contributed for use on this page by Dick Toeniskoetter, current Scoutmaster Troop 776.  This cemetery is one of four that the young men inventoried/indexed.  The others are Ayers, Dague, and Havens cemeteries.
