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 the smaller cemeteries of Muskingum County, Ohio - WPA Cemetery Plat Maps

Below are the WPA Cemetery Plat Maps that were drawn for the smaller Muskingum County cemeteries.  
These WPA era plat maps list the names of known U. S. veterans through World War I buried at a cemetery.  Their war and burial location designations are listed and shown on the map for each cemetery.  
These Muskingum County plat maps appear to have been re-created at a later date except for the title, index, and addenda pages.
Definitely, the WPA Cemetery plat maps for Ohio cemeteries are a tremendous resource for helping to identify veteran burials.  
These often overlooked maps, which may also be unknown to some, are to be preserved and shared as much as possible because of their unique value and usefulness.
