The Champaign County W.P.A. Cemetery Plat Maps are now up on the right sidebar of this blog. The original map pages are at the Champaign County Recorder’s office.
Champaign County contains 12 townships.: Adams, Concord, Goshen, Harrison, Jackson, Johnson, Mad River, Rush, Salem, Union, Urbana and Wayne.
Urbana is the county seat of Champaign County.
Oak Dale Cemetery is the large cemetery maintained by the City of Urbana.
Among those listed as famous persons buried at the Oak Dale Cemetery on the website Find A Grave is Simon Kenton.
This series of W.P.A. Cemetery Plat Maps for Champaign County are somewhat different from most other Ohio county cemetery maps because the Title Page for the Project itself and Title Pages for cemeteries with more than one page are missing.
Thus, I have created a composite Veterans Graves Registration Project Title Page for Champaign County with the Legend of Wars and the Legend for abbreviations used to identify the specifics of veterans' burials on the maps.
The first 8 pages – numbering one through eight – are missing. Number 8 mostly likely was the Title Page for Evergreen Cemetery in Saint Paris which starts with number 9.
15 The title page for Maple Grove Cemetery in Rush Township
– just outside of the Village of North Lewisburg.
20 The title page for Mt. Tabor Cemetery in Wayne Township.
24 The title page for Mutual Grace Cemetery in Union Township just west of the community of Mutual.
27 The title page for Nettle Creek Cemetery in Mad River Township.
31 The title page for Oak Dale Cemetery in Urbana – Urbana Township.
46 The title page for Rosedale Cemetery – Adams Township
50 The title page for Spring Grove Cemetery – Johnson Township – near Saint Paris
56 The title page for Terre Haute Cemetery – Mad River Township
60 The title page for Woodstock Cemetery – Woodstock in Rush Township
The above- numbered pages might best be identified as title pages that come before the map pages of a larger cemetery having more than one section. Such a title page typically contains a brief history of the cemetery and its acreage among other possible information.
Note that some map pages with the veterans names listed also contain a separate Supplementary list of veterans’ names.
