The Friends Burying Grounds, once located on Lot 17 in the Village of Damascus, was the oldest cemetery in Butler Township, Columbiana County. Expansion of the Friends Church required its relocation. No markers were found to identify the graves of the 118 persons exhumed there. The exhumed remains were reinterred in Damascus Cemetery on Valley Road, one block east of the site. The exhumation in 2001-2002 was directed by Prof. Dr. John White of Youngstown State University, assisted by staff, students, and volunteers.
