Beers History of Warren County page 679 and page 570. Page 570 says,

Cemetery History

The Miami Cemetery is a large active cemetery located east of Waynesville in the small village of Corwin on the east side of the Little Miami River. According to the webpage by the Mary L. Cook Library, this cemetery began as a private family pioneer cemetery of the Burwell Goode family, with the first burial occurring in 1833. This land was later deeded to the Methodist Church. By 1866 a larger cemetery was needed so the Miami Cemetery Association was incorporated. The Miami Cemetery Association now operates the cemetery. A copy of the Register of Interments [ROI] is available in our Resource Library.
