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."

UPDATED LISTING OF OHIO WPA CEMETERY PLAT MAPS IN FLICKR COLLECTIONS AND A REMINDER ABOUT MISSING MAPS IN SOME OHIO COUNTIES

Below is an alphabetically arranged listing of the Ohio WPA Cemetery Plat Maps that are currently posted on FLICKR as .JPG photos.  Most have been converted from either PDF formats or .TIFF - the larger size photos.  

The right sidebar has been re-designed also.  

**Unfortunately, recent changes made to Blogger Blogs has now made it more difficult to revise Pages.  The familiar "little yellow pencil icon" that had always been there enabling easy revisions in a normal composition mode has been removed.**
