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."

Sharing this fascinating and exceedingly educational hour and six minute long cemetery video tour of an obscure but overall well kept Ohio cemetery that lies in Madison Township, in Scioto County. 
This remarkable video's excellent quality shines all the way through. 
Eli Allen's reading of the tombstone inscriptions with close up views of most of the cemetery's early markers provide the viewer a real sense of a steeped history of the pioneer settlers and this region they shaped.  The tour moves orderly from row to row making for a smooth and impactful presentation.
The tour guides are Eli Allen and Amanda Rae, and the website is "Wandering Appalachia" which lives up to its name! :
