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 July 19, 2023 work session update from John King of "The Friends of the OBG" - Old Burying Ground in Greenfield, Highland County, Ohio.

 Here is the latest (July 19, 2023) update from John King of the "Friends of the Old Burying Ground" ("OBG") in Greenfield, Highland County, Ohio.:

"John King and Mike Anderson worked at the OBG Wednesday, July 19th. 

We were joined by Greg Long. 

Greg is interested in doing some work on his family gravestones in Tennessee so he wanted to see what we were doing. Even better, he was a great help to us. Two gravestones were reinstalled in bases that we cleaned out at our last session. The BIG effort was to expose the fallen in above ground box and get the pieces pack together. Next time we hope to install the two gravestones at that site."

(Note, for the above photo):  
The brushes seen on the left "were only used to remove some old epoxy or something on a broken edge before putting two pieces back together.")
