Exploring Almost Forgotten Gravesites in the Great State of Ohio

Dedicated to cemetery preservation in the great state of Ohio


"A cemetery may be considered as abandoned when all or practically all of the bodies have been Removed therefrom and no bodies have been buried therein for a great many years, and the cemetery has been so long neglected as entirely to lose its identity as such, and is no longer known, recognized and respected by the public as a cemetery. 1953 OAG 2978."

The Grave Marker of Harvey Limes at Walnut Creek Cemetery, Perry Township, Fayette County, Ohio -- What a Year After a D/2 Biological Solution Application Can Do for This Early Ohio Gravestone!

I am very pleased to share this three photo comparison of how the Harvey Limes' grave marker looks today 14 months after D/2 Biological Solution was applied to it with a soft bristle brush and a lot of rinsing.  

No power tools or power washers were used to bring out the life, with its surface left intact, of this stone that was erected in 1839.
