The marker is on the north side of Reily-Millville Road at the Historic Presbyterian Cemetery, between Woodbine and Salmon Roads, in Hanover Township, near Millville.
Text (both sides):
William Holmes McGuffey, author of the Eclectic Series of Readers, was ordained a Presbyterian minister in a log meeting house on this site in 1829. The ordination was performed by Robert Bishop, President of Miami University, and other ministers from the Oxford Presbytery. McGuffey's Christian character is an example and model for all teachers and students in America.
Additional note: The cemetery where this marker is located contains the graves of at least 5 veterans of the American Revolutionary War.
