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."

Mitchell-Morrison Cemetery at Moore’s Run

~*~*~*~*~*~*~
From "Find A Grave":
"The Mitchell-Morrison Cemetery is located about 16 miles west of Portsmouth on US 52 across from the Old Selby Farm in Nile Township. Traveling west on US 52, the cemetery is 8.2 miles west of the State Route 125 intersection with US 52. Look for a small parking lot on the north side of US 52. Then walk west at the end of the guardrail, to climb the hill. The large cemetery is located several hundred yards up the hill, on the north side of US 52, but there is no clear path to reach it."
