"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."

Thanking Megan and the "Chillicothe Gazette" for publishing this follow-up story about the destructive fire that raged through part of the Floral Hills Memory Gardens this week.  

We look forward to further follow-up reports about this situation negatively impacting the Floral Hills Memory Gardens in Ross County - an Active cemetery that still, after a decade, does not have an owner.
