The Fairfield County, Ohio W.P.A. Cemetery Plat Maps have been posted on the right sidebar of the blog

     The W.P.A. Cemetery Plat Maps for Fairfield County have been added to the listing on the right sidebar of the blog.  

These W.P.A. Cemetery Plat Maps basically follow the same format set up for those in other Ohio counties. 

 Note, some townships with several cemeteries are not listed by their names in the Album Title because the "Flickr" software program limits the title length.  This is particularly true for the album entitled "Multiple Townships - Smaller Cemeteries” which has the most cemeteries.  Thus, the reader is directed to refer to the “Album Description for the cemetery names listed by page number”.  They are listed by their page number, ranging from low to high, with any unknown pages in the beginning.

Note that the W.P.A. Cemetery Plat Maps for Forest Rose Cemetery, Elmwood Cemetery, as well as for the Crestview Mausoleum show "Lancaster Township".  The cemeteries and mausoleum are now managed and maintained by the City of Lancaster.

Of particular interest are six cemeteries with handwritten explanatory notes by the cemetery's name inside the "History Box" that the bodies have been removed and relocated or similar notations.:

These cemetery plat maps were indeed quite interesting to research and compile into this collection.  

Hopefully they will aid those interested in learning more about the locations of veterans buried in Fairfield County, Ohio cemeteries.
