Philip Gatch, 1751–1834, established Greenlawn Cemetery on his farm when his wife Elizabeth died in 1811. The land had originally been a site of the Hopewell Indian mound building culture. In his will, Gatch gave his sons discretion to open the cemetery to non-family members. The cemetery contains the burial site of John M. Pattison, 43rd governor of Ohio, and a memorial to Adjutant-general Henry Clark Corbin, 1842-1909. In 1982, ownership of the cemetery was transferred from Miami Township to the City of Milford.
