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."

So many historical society volunteers like John King, Scott Andersen, and Venus Andersen -- all who are leaders who have volunteered every year; and long time volunteers like Michael Lee Anderson, Jackie Doles, and Gloria Losey, who have been contributing in various ways for several years;  they all are to be congratulated for their efforts that have greatly improved the condition of the gravestones and the gravesites as well.  
These stalwart volunteers welcome serious and like-minded folks to join them as they continue with their work.
