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."

Previous posts on this blog have been devoted to Pickaway County Sheriff Sales (June 30, and July 21, 2020) where Floral Hills Memory Gardens in Walnut Township, Pickaway County, was scheduled to be auctioned off to the highest bidder.  

Sadly, there were no bids made in either auction for the cemetery, so now the five parcels of land included for Floral Hills Memory Gardens will once again be part of a land sale with the hope that this cemetery, listed as owned by the State of Ohio, will be sold.
