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."

The 2023 work sessions conclude for John King and Michael Lee Anderson - volunteers since 2014 - preserving gravesites at the Old Burying Ground in Greenfield, Highland County, Ohio

 

Sharing from the Friends of the Old Burying Ground in Greenfield.:

"On October 4th John King and Mike Anderson (Michael Lee Anderson) continued preservation efforts at the OBG. 

This was an unannounced session so we could finish a couple tasks before we broke for the season. 

We were able to rebuild a small box tomb and repair and secure a couple of other gravestones.

It is likely this will be our last session for the year as the weather cools down.

We thank all of you for your continued support of this effort and look forward to next season at the OBG.
 
We did have 8 sessions this summer as well as the help of Amanda Koehler in continuing to map the cemetery."

"Since 2014, the Old Burying Ground (OBG) in Greenfield, Ohio, has been undergoing work by a group of dedicated volunteers. Throughout each year, work sessions have been held by key volunteers Scott and Venus Andersen, John King, and Michael Anderson. 

We encourage your continued support in this effort and your sharing of this information with your friends. 
Thank you for caring."
