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."
