Faces from the past
Among the notable figures resting here are Isaac and William Chauncey Gilleo, recognized as the first settlers to Winfield Township. Judge Jacob Dickerson and Nicholas John Whitsell, for whom the Dickerson-Whitsell Cemetery is named, also lie here, their legacies etched in stone.
Stories that echo through time
Amble Cemetery is home to the resting place of Hazel Weatherby, a teacher at Bath School who tragically died on May 18, 1927. She is buried with her family. To this day, the Bath School Disaster remains the deadliest mass murder in a school in American history, a poignant reminder of past sorrows.
