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 Mount Tabor Church Cemetery - Salem Township, Champaign County, Ohio

Sharing some photographs from a recent brief visit to Mount Tabor Church Cemetery in Champaign County, Ohio.  

There have been many newspaper articles written about the Mount Tabor Church and its Cemetery over the years.  Two are shared here.  

There are 779 interments listed for the Mount Tabor Church Cemetery on "Find A Grave" 
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
I hope you enjoy viewing these most unique markers and monuments that are set serenely along a sweeping rolling hill with the backdrop of a stunning lush green valley below.  A focal point is the Mount Tabor Methodist Church which is now defunct.  
The cemetery is under the care of the Salem Township Trustees.
