Bath Cemetery, near Union Hill Church, was established in the 1870s. The
earliest recorded burial is that of William Arnold (d. 1877). The burial ground
has served the Bath community, locally called Possum Walk since that time, and
area residents and descendants of settlers continue to maintain the property.
Bath Cemetery is shaded by trees planted more than 100 years ago, and the
community's history can be found in the cemetery's markers inscribed with the
names of teachers, veterans, ministers, postmasters, and other early Bath
residents.
