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."

Volunteer Session - June 26, 2018

Sharing from the Greenfield Historical Society:

"What a beautiful morning at OBG! Once again we got an early start to avoid most of the heat and any pop-up showers. A nice breeze, and not too hot as we spent about 4 hours realigning more stones, repairing some broken stones, and cleaning stones. Joining in were Scott Andersen, John King, Jackie Doles, Mike Anderson, Gloria and Jim Losey, and Avery Applegate. Joining us from "up North" near Cleveland were Bruce and Ellen Phillipp. Ellen is the great granddaughter of D.O. Miller of Greenfield.
Many thanks to ALL the volunteers who help throughout the years making this a very successful project."
