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."

Announcement from the Friends of the OBG - Old Burying Ground in Greenfield, Highland County, Ohio. Next session is a mapping session scheduled for May 14th, 2024 - weather permitting.

2024 Next Session
****************
This will be a mapping session May 14th, weather permitting.

 "We are slowly getting back to our work at the OBG for 2024, but rains have limited us, as has lack of volunteers. However, Amanda K. and John K. have continued our mapping efforts on April 30 and May 7. 

It was work between rain, but we did get many burials mapped.

We will make another attempt on May 14th, but predictions seem to indicate more rain. So cross your fingers that we will be able to get some work done before the drops (or downpours) begin.
We would also like to schedule a time when volunteers can help in cleaning gravestones. 
This is not difficult, but we do need to know if you want to help so we can provide enough items to perform the cleaning. 
If that is something of interest to you, please email, and we will put your name on the list and let you know when we can  schedule that session. Thanks."
