Surnames: Wood, Wallin
I just returned from visiting Cincinnati and Clermont County, My GGGrandparents are buried in Spring Grove but died in BLanchester in 1888 and 1901. They are listed in Blanchester in the 1880 census. Their names were Charles and Sarah Wallin Wood. While driving the rural area of Clermont County I came across a sign for (West) Woodville. It states when Woodville was platted and appears to basically have only a Baptist Church at this time. Does anyone have the history of Woodville, who it is named after and why it's demise. Thanks

Everts 1880 History of Clermont County contains information about the town starting on the bottom of page 506 which says it was laid out by a Jesse Wood as an attorney for Gen. James Taylor. See

The village straddles the county line between Wayne Twp in Clermont County and Harlan Twp in Warren County where it is referred to as West Woodville. See map for military survey #764 at

The cemetery is on the Warren County side of the line and I believe it is still active. See photos at
