This Ohio Historical Marker is located by McCallum Ave at a quiet rural crossroads. There are still many headstones in the cemetery, which for some reason does not have any headstones in the middle of the cemetery.

"Deer Creek Quaker Cemetery was established on land donated by Isaac Coates, who brought his family from Chester County, Pennsylvania to settle in Lexington Township in 1820. The name Deer Creek comes from the nearby stream and it signifies the numerous deer that have abounded in the vicinity. The cemetery sits across from the former Deer Creek Quaker Meeting House. Isaac Coates is among the pioneers laid to rest here."
