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."

Lay Me Down to Rest: Ep. 4 Skelton Cemetery - Williams County, Ohio

Posted by at

Logan County, Ohio WPA Cemetery Plat Maps have been added to the right side column of the blog

Please note: all of the WPA - Works Progress Administration  Cemetery Plat Maps for Logan County, Ohio have been uploaded to FLICKR in a public album and are available on this blog in the right-hand column as a collection of the maps for the entire county.  

Note also that those map pages that have two or more cemeteries on them that also have different townships on one page are grouped together in their own photo album in the collection.  There are 24 such pages.  

Please keep in mind that these cemeteries were read in the 1930s during the years of the Great Depression.  Thus, names of cemeteries during that time may be changed now.  Several of the smaller cemeteries had the name "farm" in them, meaning there is a strong possibility that they are defunct today.

Sharing a link to Logan County's cemeteries as they are currently listed on Find A Grave.  

The maps have been converted from PDF format to JPG format.
