The Augspurger Family Cemetery is the second oldest surviving Amish cemetery in Butler County, Ohio. Early Amish pioneer Christian Augspurger set aside this burial ground, and his son Samuel originally fenced the plot in 1848, the year of his father's death. Use of the cemetery ceased in the later years of the 1800s, and after it passed from family hands around the turn of the 20th century, it fell into neglect and disrepair. In the 1980s, descendant Rudolf Augspurger erected a modern granite monument for graves that were no longer marked or legible and to honor the legacy of his great grandparent. In 1989, the Cincinnati Gas & Electric Company bought a large tract of land, including the Chrisholm Farm, for a new power plant, but recognizing the significance of the 17 acres containing the homestead, farm buildings, and cemetery, deeded the land to MetroParks of Butler County with the understanding that the buildings would be restored and the site developed as a park. Friends of Chrisholm was formed in 1995 to oversee the restoration project and sought to determine how many people were buried here and, where possible, establish their identities, but burial records for most are not available. Estimates and investigations have varied: a 1989 genealogical study estimated around 20 graves, 2006 dowsing suggested more than 50 burials, a sectional surface dig from 2006 to 2008 confirmed 6 burials in two sections, and a 2013 geophysical radar survey found evidence of at least 27 possible burials. Augspurger ancestors known to be buried here are Christian Augspurger, founder of the Butler County Amish community; Katharina, or Catherine, Hauter Augspurger, his wife; Joseph Augspurger, their eldest son; Magdalena Kennel Augspurger, Joseph's wife; Christian Augspurger, their son; Barbara Augspurger Jetzi, their daughter; and Anna Augspurger Kennel, their daughter.
