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."

“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

~*~*~*~*~*~*~
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.

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.

Sharing the latest report from "The Friends of the Old Burying Ground" in Greenfield, Highland County by John King.

"June 20th was a productive day at OBG. The rain had stopped, sun was out!

 Michael Anderson, Avery Applegate, and John King cleaned some gravestones, straightened a couple and began repairs on a large stone that was in multiple pieces.

One of the rewards of our cemetery preservation efforts is when people visit the cemetery while we are working and we can help them locate their relatives. 

A couple from Washington State, Rhonda and Patrick Clark, were traveling across the country looking for burial sites of Rhonda's family. In particular, they were looking for Edward Bryam, her 5X great uncle.

Would you believe we actually cleaned the gravestones of Edward and Rachel Bryam at our previous work session! Rhonda was thrilled to find them looking so nice. She also looked for some members of the Gibson family and at the cemetery in general.

********
Our next tentative date for work will be Friday July 18th. We will start at 12:30 p.m., but it is likely that a couple of us will be there earlier than that. So if you have the time to help or just want to look at the progress, please plan to join us."

"Since 2014, the Old Burying Ground (OBG) in Greenfield, Ohio, has been undergoing work by a group of dedicated volunteers. Throughout each year, work sessions have been held by key volunteers."

The Ohio Cemetery Grant Program for 2026 opens on July 1 2025.


"Please gather all information prior to entering the application online. Once you start the application, the information entered cannot be saved and if you exit out of the application you will lose all information previously  entered. The application site will time out if left open and inactive for longer than 6 hours."

 New cemetery grant program for 2026:

"The FY2026 cemetery grant application period opens July 1, 2025." 

"Cemetery operators can sign-up for our cemetery stakeholder email list here.

Once the application period opens on July 1st, the application can be found at https://cemeterygrants.com.ohio.gov/. If you have any questions or require additional assistance, please contact the Division at CemeteryGrants@com.ohio.gov.  

The Division’s cemetery grant program advances grants to properly registered cemeteries, except for-profit corporations, to defray the costs of exceptional maintenance or training of cemetery personnel in the maintenance and operation of the cemetery. A cemetery that has not had a burial in the last 25 years or is a family cemetery is exempt from registration and does not qualify for a grant.

Reasonable maintenance, pursuant to Ohio Revised Code section 4767.09, done in the day-to-day operations of a cemetery is not considered exceptional for purposes of awarding grants. Exceptional maintenance is construed broadly to cover non-routine, non-repetitive maintenance.

An operator may apply every other year for one grant of up to $2,500. Operators of five or more cemeteries registered with the Division may apply each year. Grant funds cannot be used for activities or purchases prior to formal approval of the grant application by the Superintendent and the Division’s receipt of a signed grant award agreement."

Lucas County Ohio Cemeteries - Lucas County Ohio Engineer's Cemetery maps of cemeteries that no longer exist. (Polish National Cemetery - Example.)

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

From Brian S. Miller:

"I have added some new features to the Engineer’s Cemetery Map.":

 

  1. In the upper right-hand corner of the screen, you will now see a GPS coordinates tool that reads the GPS coordinates on the fly as you move your mouse. You can also capture GPS coordinates of any location on the map by clicking the cursor icon button on the left side of the GPS tool, select the location on the map and your desired coordinates are saved to the GPS tool window. Once captured, you can then click the copy to clipboard button on the right side of the GPS tool. Now you can paste those coordinates to any desired application you need it for.
  2. In the row of tools at the bottom, I have added the Share Tool icon, which allows you to copy and share a link to anyone of the map at the location you are zoomed into.
  3. In the lower right-hand corner of the screen, I have added the Measurement tool, which can come in quite handy if you need to measure something on the map. It will measure in many different units. Measuring distances is in feet by default. Measuring an area is in square feet by default.

 

"These 3 new features can be quite handy in certain circumstances."

The Pleasant View Cemetery (AKA Pleasant View Union Cemetery) has a Soldiers' Circle. 

Sharing from the Description provided for this cemetery as listed for it on Find a Grave.:
"The Pleasant View Cemetery is located west of Maple Street and south of Ontario Street in the southwest section of the village of Fayette. The older section of Pleasant View Cemetery was a family burial ground on land owned by John Gamber. By 1852 the site had been expanded to serve the local area. The first burial is difficult to determine as grave markers were moved to Pleasant View from abandoned cemeteries. The first burial may have been as early as 1836."
