My thanks to Jonathan Appell for sharing this historical story on the "Linkedin" Group: "Gravestone and Monument Preservation." Also, thanking Melvin J. Mason Jr., for his help in converting the image into a "jpeg" file so I could view it.
It fits in so well with the Sheep Pen Cemetery in Madison Township, Highland County, Ohio.
According to the book Cemetery Inscriptions
of Highland County, Ohio, compiled by N. and Jane N. McBride, copyright 1954, on
page 361, under the cemetery name “Gustin”:
“It is known as the Sheep
Pen Cemetery.” “This name is very unusual and residents of
the vicinity say that the name was acquired because sheep were often placed
there to graze.”
This is the only cemetery with the name "Sheep Pen" on "Find A Grave"!!
