Sharing a link to this article by The Toledo Blade by Matt Markey.: "The Outdoors Page: Tiny cemeteries dot the area landscape" - Posted November 26, 2022

Sharing this article from "The Toledo Blade" by Matt Markey celebrating the importance of lost and forgotten cemeteries and that they should be preserved and protected.  Focusing on those that exist in the Ohio counties shown below in particular.:

"Lucas County has about 73 cemeteries, Wood County hosts around 78, while Ottawa County's burial sites number roughly 48, and Fulton County has close to 80. The exact numbers are not in dispute — they just are not known since the small plots, the family graveyards, and long-since abandoned sites are not all found on a map or a deed."
