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."

Joshua Winder (1810 - 1872) - Find A Grave Memorial

Joshua Winder (1810 - 1872) - Find A Grave Memorial

If you are researching the Winder Family of the North Lewisburg, Champaign County, Ohio area, you'll discover that many members of this large family were buried at the Friends (Quaker) Cemetery on Winder Street in North Lewisburg.  The little cemetery sits at the back of the property that adjoins the former Quaker Church.  It is now a branch of the Champaign County Library.

George Reams (1866 - 1934) - Find A Grave Memorial

I do not believe George Reams is buried at the Butcher Cemetery, in North Lewisburg, Champaign County, Ohio, but that is where a "Find A Grave" contributor has posted him for his interment.  Unfortunately, it falls to me to prove he really wasn't buried there!
