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."

"U.S. MILITARY"

"New headstones honor forgotten Americans who did their duty"

"The VA says a growing number of history buffs, Boy Scout troops and others are making sure long-dead warriors aren’t forgotten."

“Being a veteran, I wanted to do what I could to be sure all veterans get the recognition they deserve,” says Lyle Garitty, an administrator and historian at Green Mount Cemetery in Baltimore who scours records.

The roots of John Knox’s despondence are lost to history. But his suicide made the newspaper: In 1895, he tied one end of a rope around his neck and the other around a stone block. Then he threw himself into Baltimore’s harbor.

A document in Knox’s pocket identified him as an army pensioner but included no next of kin, according to a brief account in the Baltimore Sun. He was sent to a pauper’s grave and forgotten for more than 120 years.

Then two workers at the city’s Green Mount Cemetery came across his story and applied for a grave marker through a little-known law passed in 1879. It requires the federal government to ship a headstone anywhere in the world for anyone who served in the U.S. military, not just those who died in combat or buried in military cemeteries.

The result is a granite plaque on a leafy hillside of the historic graveyard. It reads, in part: “Sgt. John W. Knox, Medal of Honor.”

It’s one of more than 167 such markers, tombstones and medallions that the cemetery workers Shawn Ward and Lyle Garitty have installed in the graveyard to memorialize forgotten men and women who did their duty in conflicts as far back as the Revolutionary War.

They are among the most active of what the Department of Veterans Affairs says is a growing number of history buffs, Boy Scout troops and others who have taken up the cause of long-dead warriors.

Pupils at a high school in Ohio installed more than 70 headstones in historic cemeteries near their school.

An Orlando resident secured 61 headstones for veterans of the Spanish-American War and other conflicts at Mount Peace Cemetery in St. Cloud, Florida.

Last year, VA’s National Cemetery Administration shipped 112,459 headstones, plaques and other “memorial products” to private graveyards, said Eric Powell, director of Memorial Products Service for the NCA. The government doesn’t keep track of how many are for historic graves, but most are for recent deaths.

Many of the memorial products center on Black graveyards. The government granted white veterans the right to a free headstone shortly after the Civil War, but the privilege wasn’t extended to Black soldiers until President Harry S. Truman desegregated the armed forces in 1948.

That was too late for many of the veterans buried at Lebanon Cemetery, a Black graveyard opened in 1872 in York, Pennsylvania. A local group, the Friends of Lebanon Cemetery, has installed 17 government-issued headstones on graves that never had one or were marked with wooden ones that had rotted away, said Samantha Dorm, a volunteer with the group.

Record-keeping for African American soldiers was “an afterthought” for much of history, she says. That made it difficult to procure the necessary documentation to satisfy VA. It wasn’t until 1977 that the government declared women who served in units such as the Women Airforce Service Pilots, or WASPs in World War II, to be veterans.

HOW TO REQUEST A GRAVE MARKER

To get a grave marker, an applicant must provide documentation of a veteran’s honorable discharge of service in the federal armed services and certify that his or her grave is unmarked or marked with a badly deteriorated headstone.

In some cases, VA will even provide a plaque or marker — though not a tombstone — if it can be proved that the body has gone missing. That’s how Ward and Garitty were able to procure a marker for Knox, whom they believe is buried under a road.

The stones come in granite or marble and weigh more than 200 pounds. They are shipped free, but applicants must pay for the installation if it’s in a private cemetery.

Paul LaRue found a ready supply of volunteers while he was a social studies teacher at Washington High School in the rural hamlet of Washington Court House, Ohio. He was leading a field trip to a cemetery when a student asked about the poor condition of headstones over some soldiers’ graves. After a bit of research, he learned about VA’s headstone program and launched a project to have students research the buried veterans, order and then install markers. They put up about 70 of them between 2002 and 2012 in six graveyards around southern Ohio.

“It was really a great way to connect the students to the community and their history,” said LaRue, who retired from teaching and is now president of the Ohio State Board of Education.

SCOURING THE ARCHIVES

In the six years they’ve been at it, Baltimore’s Ward and Garitty have become a two-man honor guard, putting up markers and helping like-minded enthusiasts from Pennsylvania to western Maryland.

Ward and Garitty, veterans themselves, have scoured military archives, city death records and handwritten ledgers in the cemetery’s office. They’ve found soldiers, sailors and aviators whose graves were never marked or whose tombstones were lost or damaged. Their freshly carved, white stone slabs and polished bronze markers stand out amid the weathered monuments of Green Mount. They form a sort of granite Facebook of American history.

There’s one for Pvt. David Mumma, who served in a battalion of ethnic Germans from Maryland and Pennsylvania who fought under George Washington at the Battle of Trenton. Another marks the grave of Aquila Randall, a Maryland militiaman killed in the 1814 British invasion of Baltimore that inspired the national anthem. Fighter pilot Richard Seth, a standout lacrosse player at the U.S. Naval Academy, was lost at sea during the Korean War.

“Being a veteran, I wanted to do what I could to be sure all veterans get the recognition they deserve,” said Garitty, an administrator and historian at Green Mount."

The Pickaway County W.P.A. Cemetery Plat Maps have been added to the right sidebar of the blog.

 The Pickaway County W.P.A. Cemetery Plat Maps have been added to the right sidebar of the blog. 

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The W.P.A. Cemetery Plat Maps for Pickaway County contain the following townships.:
Circleville, Darby, Deer Creek
Harrison, Jackson, Madison
Monroe, Muhlenberg, Perry
Pickaway, Salt Creek, Scioto
Walnut, Washington, Wayne
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Pickaway County is primarily a rural county. 

It was perhaps even more so when these maps were drawn up during the decade of the 1930s; during the years of the Great Depression when the W.P.A. program was in place.

On the Cemetery Index Page, there are 57 cemeteries listed with the word "Farm" in their names.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ 

Circleville is the county seat of Pickaway County.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
These W.P.A. Cemetery Plat Maps have been recently placed on the Pickaway County Recorder's website in .pdf format.

Sharing from the Pickaway County Recorder.:
"If you go to our recording website, you can view the document by searching the following information:

O R vol 814 pg 5083
Instrument #:  202400007429

You can also search by cemetery names."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Pickaway County contains several American Revolutionary War veteran burials.:

Above is a photograph posted here with permission from the photographer of the large gray granite memorial monument for Revolutionary War veterans who were buried in Pickaway County but whose exact location is unknown.  

This monument is at Forest Cemetery in Circleville.  

Capt. Eleazer Williamson is included on the list.  

On Find a Grave he is shown as buried at the Presbyterian Cemetery which is Page number 62 on the Cemetery Index.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
There are some map pages where veterans names are listed and their gravesite location shown; however, their war number -- example: the number "1" designation for the American Revolutionary War, is missing.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Note: that the Yankeetown Cemetery is listed on Find a Grave as being in Fayette County. 

However, in the Pickaway County collection of W.P.A. Cemetery Plat Maps, Yankeetown Cemetery is shown as being in Monroe Township, Pickaway County which is next to the border with Fayette County.:  

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Note also that the Methodist Cemetery on the Cemetery Index as number Page 82 is named as the Beckett Cemetery on Find a Grave.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Pickaway County's W.P.A. Cemetery Plat Maps are a fascinating collection containing several pages of smaller family cemeteries that in some instances have now disappeared.  Because of the W.P.A. workers' documentation of their location and veteran burial information, the existence of these early burial grounds is proven and their records have been preserved for our further research.

Sharing sad news of July 16, 2025 - Major Storm Damage occurred at the Old Burying Ground in Greenfield, Highland County, Ohio.

 Thanking John King of the "Friends of the Old Burying Ground" in Greenfield for alerting me to the severe storm damage done to this early pioneer cemetery in southern Ohio that contains the final resting places of so many ancestors of those who have ties to the area - and beyond.


 
Earlier this year, on On April 4, 2025, the Old Burying Ground was given an award by "Scenic Ohio" along with six other Ohio cemeteries for the preservation efforts of the volunteers who have worked to improve and maintain its historic significance.

John King and Michael Lee Anderson are long time volunteers at the Old Burying Ground in Greenfield.  Since 2014, they have steadily continued with their work cleaning, repairing, and resetting markers and monuments.  

This massive complete cemetery preservation project has been a full-scale effort that has included additional volunteers over the years; attending to all of the preservation needs of this historic cemetery.

The Introductory Announcement and photographs of storm damage below are courtesy of John King.:

"Honoring the Birth of Education in America" - Free program presented by Mr. Paul LaRue - Wednesday, July 9, 2025 - 10:30a.m. - Start Westward Monument in East Muskingum Park, 319 Front Street, Marietta, Ohio, 45750

 "238th Anniversary of the Northwest Territory Ordinance of 1787 Celebration" 

Muskingum Park, Marietta, Washington County, Ohio
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
“Honoring the Birth of Education in America"

The 238th Anniversary of the Ordinance of 1787 Celebration Committee wishes to invite the public to our free program at 10:30am, Wednesday, July 9, 2025 at the Start Westward Monument in East Muskingum Park, 319 Front Street, Marietta, Ohio, 45750.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Paul LaRue, President of the Ohio State Board of Education & Retired Teacher, will delve into the profound impact of Article #3 of the Northwest Ordinance and its lasting legacy on public education in America.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The Land Ordinance of 1785 provided the land, and the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 provided the framework and encouragement for the establishment of education in the Northwest Territory, with Marietta and the Ohio Company playing a vital role in the practical implementation of this policy. These ordinances are the first instances of Congress providing support to education in the United States of America!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
It's fascinating to consider that these foundational steps towards promoting education were taken before the Constitution and Bill of Rights were established.  The Northwest Ordinance of 1787 was passed unanimously by the Congress of the Confederation, July 13, 1787!!!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Join us on July 9th to commemorate this pivotal moment in American history!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Note: From 10-10:30am - Guests are invited to join in at the monument with music and refreshments! At the First Congregational Church, the “Church of the Pioneers” bell ringing of the carillon will be performed with various patriotic tunes. Guests are invited to climb the steps into the bell tower to watch as Sean Lofty operates the wooden levers to engage the chimes.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Note: This is an outdoor event under the temporary protective shelter covering the monument, in case of rain, the First Congregational Church at 318 Front Street, Marietta, OH 45750
(For additional program information, contact jean.yost@gmail.com or 740-336-8060)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Program Support: City of Marietta; Museum of the Northwest Territory - Campus Martius; First Congregational Church; Marietta Chapter Sons of the American Revolution; Washington County Public Library; Washington County Veterans Service Office; The Multicultural Genealogical Center; the Marietta Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution; Civil War Roundtable of the Mid-Ohio Valley and the America 250-Ohio Commission.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Background Materials: The Northwest Ordinance of 1787 is one of the world’s great state papers. Arguably the greatest achievement of the Confederation Congress, the Ordinance provided the blueprint for the growth of the new American republic and set the course for forming a more perfect union; most of all by excluding slavery from new territory.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The Land Ordinance of 1785 and the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 played a pivotal role in promoting education in the United States, even before the Constitution was ratified.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Here's a breakdown of how they supported education:

Land Ordinance of 1785: This ordinance established a systematic way to survey and divide the Western territories (the Northwest Territory). Crucially, it mandated the setting aside of one section of land in each new township for the support of public schools. This was a groundbreaking move, as it recognized the importance of education and provided a tangible way to fund it.

Northwest Ordinance of 1787: This ordinance built upon the Land Ordinance of 1785 by providing a framework for governing the Northwest Territory and a process for admitting new states to the Union. It also included a crucial article (Article 3) that directly addressed the importance of education: "Religion, morality, and knowledge, being necessary to good government and the happiness of mankind, schools and the means of education shall forever be encouraged". The authors of the Northwest Ordinance believed that educated citizens were essential for successful self-government.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Role of Marietta and the Ohio Company: The Ohio Company of Associates, established in 1786, specifically aimed to found an institution of higher education in the Northwest Territory. When the Northwest Ordinance was passed, one of its future founders, Manasseh Cutler, composed the clause that emphasized the encouragement of education. Ohio University, established in 1804, was a direct consequence of the Northwest Ordinance and became the country's first land-grant university.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Significance:

These ordinances demonstrated a commitment from the Confederation Congress to support public education.

They laid the foundation for public education systems across the country by allocating land for schools.

The emphasis on "religion, morality, and knowledge" reflected the founders' belief that these were essential for good government and the well-being of the populace. 

It's fascinating to consider that these foundational steps towards promoting education were taken before the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights were fully established. This highlights the importance that early American leaders placed on education for the new nation.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
This event is a tribute to the Continental Congress and all Patriots of the American Revolution, and focuses on the history of the founding of the Northwest Territory under the Ordinance of 1787. Many historians describe the Ordinance as one of the top three “Human Rights” documents in the world. Author David McCullough described the Ordinance best on page 30 of his new book, The Pioneers; “the great Northwest Ordinance of 1787 stands alongside the Magna Carta and the Declaration of Independence as a bold assertion of the rights of the individual.”
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Paul LaRue Bio: 

In 1985, Paul LaRue entered the classroom as a high school social studies teacher at Washington Court House High School where he remained until his retirement. Paul has been the recipient of numerous state and national teaching awards, including American Legion Ohio Educator of the Year, Veterans of Foreign Wars Ohio Teacher of the Year, and Ohio Daughters of the American Revolution American History Teacher of the Year. Nationally recognized, Paul received Time Warner’s National Teacher Award, the History Channel’s First Place “Innovation in History Education,” and the African American Civil War Memorial Teacher of the Year.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Since retiring, Paul has continued to work with social studies teachers and created educational content for the Ohio World War I Centennial, The Black History Bulletin, and the National Park Service. He currently serves as Co-Chair for the America 250 Ohio K-12 Education Committee.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Dates in history: July 13, 1787, the day the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 is adopted; July 9, 1788, the date Territorial Governor Arthur St. Clair arrived at Marietta; July 15, 1788 the day Gov. St Clair opened Territorial government for business.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Celebration Committee Co-Chairs: Marietta Mayor, Josh Schlicher; former Ohio Governor Nancy Hollister; Dr. Sharon Barnett, Board Member of The Multicultural Genealogical Center; Patty Ullman, Marietta Daughters of the American Revolution; Jean Yost, Marietta Chapter Sons of the American Revolution.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
HISTORIC BACKGROUND: Marietta, Washington County, Ohio, is the site of the first organized settlement and Capital of the Northwest Territory.  After the Revolutionary War, many New England officers and enlisted men formed the Ohio Company and left their homes for life on the frontier.  Landing at the mouth of the Muskingum (site of Fort Harmar and the 1stAmerican Regiment of the U.S. Army) on 7 April 1788, a group of 48 patriots led by General Rufus Putnam, founded Marietta and started the western expansion of the United States.  Over the next several years, a great many soldiers, sailors, and/or their families came to live here in a county named for their leader, General George Washington. These men who had fought for their country’s independence in the American Revolution had lobbied with the new Congress for land as payment for their service.  One result of the efforts of these men was the creation of the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 which established territories North of the Ohio River to Canada and East of the Mississippi River, abolished slavery (Article VI) and served as the model for the Bill of Rights in the US Constitution. The Northwest Ordinance was unanimously passed on 13 July 1787 as one of the first significant pieces of legislation passed by the Continental Congress after the war.  On 17 September 1787, almost 2 months to the day of the passing of the Northwest Ordinance, Congress slightly modified that Ordinance and adopted it as our U.S. Constitution.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
ADDITIONAL PROGRAMMING: 9:30am to 5:00pm – The Museum of the Northwest Territory - Campus Martius, tour the General Rufus Putnam House, constructed in 1788 as part of the Campus Martius fortification. (Regular admission rates) Note: Territorial Governor Arthur St Clair and other officials conducted official business at the first Capital of the Northwest Territory, Campus Martius.

Happy Fourth of July, 2025! Happy Hunting for the final resting places of American Revolutionary War Veterans who were buried in Ohio!

 The Ohio History Connection is spearheading the campaign to document the locations of the gravesites of American Revolutionary War veterans who lived in Ohio, at least for a time, and died and were buried here. It is a massive and worthy endeavor that will benefit all of us, and future generations to have this knowledge.  We will not be able to count the ways how the information will aid genealogists searching for their ancestors. 

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Reflecting on the years of the Great Depression - the 1930s - we cannot help but think of another most worthy effort to document veteran burials in our Great State and beyond.  During that decade the project provided employment to those who needed it.  They were tasked to visit and document the locations of veteran burials from all wars, starting with the American Revolutionary War. Take note that the American Revolutionary War veterans are designated as number 1 (the number in the circle) and ending with World War I - which was the latest war to have been fought at the time this work took place.  Thus, that war was simply known as the "World War" on those records. 

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Below is my rendering of two key elements for what I often identify as the W.P.A. (Works Progress Administration) Cemetery Plat Maps.  It was also shown as Veterans Graves Registration.  The cemetery plat maps (sometimes referred to as "plot maps") are companion records to the individual veteran grave registration cards that are well known to genealogists who are researching specific veterans.  

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

As we inch closer to the 2030's we find that these older records can now serve as a foundation for moving forward with this program sponsored by the Ohio History Connection's Preservation Office which has done valuable work with such projects as the OH-I Form that has been featured here in several posts. 

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Reference.:

“These are the very first veterans of the United States of America,” said Krista Horrocks, historian and cemetery preservationist with the Ohio History Connection. “This project is about reclaiming those stories and ensuring the stories of these Ohioans who directly contributed to the founding of our country are remembered for generations to come.” 

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Below is a listing of some of the best presented W.P.A. Cemetery Plat Maps by Ohio Counties (i.e. Recorders, G.I.S. Departments, etc.) that can serve as a starting point to visiting the cemeteries and contributing to the Ohio-250 project of documenting American Revolutionary War veteran gravesites and photographing gravesite markers in compliance with it.
