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.
