It is located in Buckskin Township in Ross County, Ohio.
Per an email from Mr. Scott Andersen who has recently visited the Dean Cemetery, he writes that it is in great need of restoration:
"Here's my candidate for a cemetery restoration. It's in South Salem, on the farm of Eldon Esslegroth. It's called the Dean/Old Presbyterian Cemetery.
I transcribed it onto the "Find A Grave" website.
(It's just the "Dean Cemetery" on "Find A Grave")
My 5th Great Grandfather Robert Dickey is supposedly there. He was a Revolutionary War Veteran.
There is a monument for him at the South Salem Cemetery, but that is not where he is buried. I visited the site last summer. Larry O'Laker set up a meeting with Eldon, and we went out there. I'm fairly certain that the cemetery hasn't been cleaned up in over 30 years.
Completely overgrown, you could hardly get through the place. We found a few headstones that day, but most were broken and lying in the dirt. I'd like to go back sometime in the winter, when the brush is down a little, and have another look.
If you ever get a campaign going to clean this one up, count me in!
