Notes about the Vinton County, Ohio W.P.A. Cemetery plat maps.:

The cemetery index page is quite difficult to read due to the fact it was copied under a wrinkled plastic cover sheet.  The page is quite fragile and faded.  

Fortunately, most map pages have their page numbers in the lower right-hand corner similar to what is seen for other Ohio county WPA Cemetery Plat Maps.

There is no Cemetery Locator Map, however, the cemetery maps do show a penciled-in number above the cemetery name like " #2" that would correspond with its location in the county should the cemetery locater map exist. However, none could be found. Note the example below for Oak Grove Cemetery in Madison Township the #70 would correspond with its location in Vinton County on a Cemetery Locator Map.:

Agnes C. Lamb

The entry for Agnes C. Lamb is shown penciled-in on the Wilkesville Cemetery Map.

Duplication:  Wyckoff Cemetery and Wycoff Cemetery:

Both maps show an Ezekiel Knight and a Ezekiel Jarvis as two different soldiers buried at the Wyckoff Cemetery which is listed on Find A Grave, and also Wycoff Cemetery which is not listed on Find A Grave.  Each W.P.A. Cemetery Plat Map has its own cemetery locator number, and they are different.  Wyckoff Cemetery has #25, and the Wycoff Cemetery has #110.  So, it is unfortunate that the Cemetery Locator Map page is missing from this collection of W.P.A. Cemetery Plat Maps for Vinton County.

Also, what is unique to this particular collection is that at some point later on from when the maps were first drawn, others added in by pencil the following information.:

#3 WWII; #5 Korean; and #7 Vietnam - thus adding those numbers on most maps for the later wars. As we know when the W.P.A. Cemetery Plat maps were created it was at a time during the years of the Great Depression in America from approximately 1932 to 1941 when World War II began. The numbers 3, 5, and 7, were already assigned to lesser known wars up to that time (#3 = Warfare with Indians on frontier) (#5 = War with France) (#7 = War with Tripoli).

There are a few map pages with deteriorated condition issues, however over all, most pages are readable and have their page numbers.
