"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."

This wonderful article in the "Loveland Magazine" is not only enlightening and equally inspiring, it is easily seen how the content is quite educational in nature. This is particularly so for anyone who ever has sought to obtain grants and funding for cemetery restoration in Ohio. 

I personally feel that this story is a Must Read for anyone who seeks guidance and direction for where to turn for financial assistance for a cemetery project.
