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."

Spotlighting Leona L. Gustafson, the Union County Ohio WPA Cemetery Plat Maps, and The Union County Chapter of the Ohio Genealogical Society

If you have ever searched the Internet for resources for Central Ohio cemeteries and gravesites then you have surely found the websites of Leona L. Gustafson.  We are indebted to Leona for all of her tireless work that she has shared with us.
