Thanking Sandy Mader Holladay for bringing to my attention the deteriorated condition at the Chapel Heights Memory Gardens in Marion County, Ohio.
From Sandy's Blog: "Oozing out my Ears" I learned about the "Friends of Marion County Cemeteries" on "Facebook."
From Sandy's Blog:
"If you have family members buried there, I encourage you to get in the
car and go visit, see if you can find your loved ones graves."
The Cemetery is:
Chapel Heights Memory Garden
2622 Marion-Upper Sandusky Road
Marion, Ohio 43302
Phone #: 740-383-1709
"There are several entrances one if off Marion-Waldo Road."
"Can you help? Many different things need to be done to clean up this
cemetery, it will require work and organization.
Volunteers are needed. There will be physical work
needed, mapping, photographing and lots of organizing. This is a
wonderful way to give back, to work for a solution. Anyone interested
in history, genealogy, community service, as well as those with family
members buried here are encouraged to join the effort. If you're not
local or close enough to drive to Marion to physically take part, please
consider making a monetary donation to The Genealogy Society to help."
