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."

WPA Cemetery Plat Map Images (Partial) For Sandusky County, Ohio

In this example, this WPA Cemetery Plat Map project was started, and cover sheet shows this, the plats show all of the lots blank.  There are no listings for the veterans' names. 
All of the pages are like these.  It could mean that the project was started too late in the WPA Cemetery Plat Map program and was not finished.
