Sharing this Lima (Allen County) Ohio newspaper story regarding
the Shannon Cemetery in Bluffton, Ohio where standing gravestones as
well as unearthed grave markers were removed from the cemetery to be
later placed in a large concrete base and put on display elsewhere on
the property.
The Shannon Cemetery no longer has any standing
gravestones because of the actions of one man and his 'vision' for the
cemetery to be turned into a 'cemetery - park.' Civil War and Rev. War
veterans are also buried at the Shannon Cemetery.
