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 Terry Pluto's October 12, 2025 story about visiting grave sites. Relating his own experiences "started it all"!

 Terry Pluto's October 12, 2025 Story about visiting grave sites.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Relating that one week prior to Terry Pluto's October 19, 2025 story, he shared his personal story that "started it all" about his experience visiting the grave site of someone close to him. 

At the end of his story he provided his contact information.  Hed invited his readers, who would choose to, write to him and share their stories with him and his readers.:

"But if you go, tell me about it. Why do you go? What do you get out of it? 

This for a follow-up story."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Terry may or may not return to this subject once again; and he may or may not ask his readers to share as they have now, however, I feel one vital point was made with Terry's story and those who related theirs in response to his request to do so as well. That is how meaningful the reasons and experiences are for them who take the time to visit cemeteries and grave sites. Their willingness to share their reasons demonstrates how important it is for them to publicly express them.  They are deeply personal and powerful.  

God Bless them all!
