Dedicated to Cemetery Preservation in the Great State of Ohio



Welcome to my blog about cemetery preservation in the Great State of Ohio! Thanks to so many wonderful people, many of whom are volunteers, Ohio's burial grounds - large and small - in cities and in obscure places, are being improved one by one.

Almost forgotten gravesites are being located; and stories of our ancestors are again being told.

My Favorite Quotations


"Show me the manner in which a nation cares for its dead, and I will measure with mathmatical exactness the tender mercies of its people, their respect for the laws of the land and their loyalty to high ideals."

By William Gladstone

"A cemetery shelters so much love, hate, desire, greed, averse, disappointment, friendship ---- all lie buried here.
All passions are stilled, all tumult ended. Peace reigns here forever.
Death is here, yet it is not here. It is the silent City of the Dead, yet it is a living, breathing thing.
Those we love cannot die as long as they live in our hearts."

MERRY CHRISTMAS !!!

Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas today.  I hope you are spending at least some of it with your family or someone special in your life, or visting by phone or via the internet. 

My thank you to everybody following this blog.

A big thank you to everyone who has taken a step toward improving burial sites at Ohio cemeteries, whether it be a single burial site or at an entire cemetery. 
You know who you are!

It is my goal to learn more about your work and your success so we can share it with others and keep the ball rolling sort to speak.

I have a link here to a listing on Cyndislist.com for Ohio cemeteries.  

I was pleasantly surprised to see "Exploring Almost Forgotten Gravesites in Ohio" among those on the list.  I wasn't expecting it, but it is an honor I accept with humble appreciation. 

There are currently 28 links listed for this category on Cyndislist.com.  So, please re-visit Cyndislist.com often as I'm sure the list will be growing.

Enjoy all the holidays and thank you so much for your ongoing support. 

Please keep up your important efforts with cemetery and gravesite preservation so even more Ohio gravesites will be saved!
