Per information provided by Margie (Truax) Dolezel who is the owner of the
Truax farm where the Warner Cemetery is located,  many of the remains were
removed from the Tannery Hill Cemetery and reburied at Charlotteville.
There is no evidence that the old stones were left behind.  There is
evidence though of many unmarked grave sites.

Note - My name is Alicia Holm and I am the daughter of Bert and Evelyn Holm who used to own the property that this cemetery sits on. 
In the description entered on this site, I noticed that it states that there is no evidence that the tombstones still remain in said cemetery. This information is incorrect inasmuch as the stones are still there.  About thirty years ago, my mother and I went into the cemetery and attempted to clear the stones and straighten some of the ones that were leaning out.
