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 a link to the virtual cemetery tour of an in-person visit to the Alexander-Downey Cemetery - Madison Township, Scioto County, Ohio - produced by "Wandering Appalachia"

 Sharing this new video from "Wandering Appalachia" produced by Eli Allen. It is short in length, however, quite visually revealing with narration  provided.  
It is a virtual cemetery tour that brings a truly stark awareness to just how remote and almost forgotten about a typical small rural burial ground can be! 

This video spotlights the Alexander-Downey Cemetery which is only one of the untold number of final resting places for early families, that now exist in one condition or another, in just about every county in the State of Ohio.

Find a Grave lists this tiny burial ground as the Downey Cemetery in Madison Township in Scioto County, Ohio. 

There is only one memorial posted on Find a Grave. 

It is for James Alexander.
