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."

Royalton Twp. asking voters for two levies


Sharing from Fulton County, Ohio.  Royalton Township.  
This story is a reminder that levy time is coming up.  Please vote for a levy that benefits cemeteries.  Otherwise, township cemeteries can continue to deteriorate as we so well know.  Needed repairs may not get done or have to wait until volunteers step in to fill the void with whatever they are able to handle.  Adequately maintaining the final resting places of our ancestors and relatives depends on us.
