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."

Dan Brady's blog - "Brady's Bunch of Lorain County Nostalgia" - is brimful of details! This is certainly true for the August 15, 2024 post regarding the Claus Cemetery in Brownhelm Township.

It is easy to see, even at first glance, that Dan Brady's "Brady's Bunch Blog" brims over with history - both by recounting recent details and sharing from long ago history - bringing all of it together in a current blog post about a subject.

Before going further, I wish to express my appreciation to Mr. Matthew Weisman of Elyria for alerting me to this new and important cemetery preservation blog post!

Col. Matt Nahorn contacted Dan Brady about the recent restoration work completed at the Claus Cemetery by "Gravestone Restoration Services by Kate & Jane" that provides this tiny and secluded burial ground with its best hope yet for receiving the public's recognition and respect it has for far too long deserved.

Dan Brady concludes the post with a look back in history link to the blog's 2015 "Hole-in-the-Wall - Part II - The Claus Farm Post.

Congratulations to all involved for taking the necessary steps to save the small Claus Cemetery in Brownhelm, Lorain County!
