Mercer County Ohio - W.P.A. Cemetery Plat Maps - Update to the right sidebar of the Blog for these cemetery plat maps.

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

As is the case with other W.P.A. Cemetery Plat Map collections for other Ohio counties, the smaller cemeteries on a page, with multiple townships on one page, are saved in their own album. 

Names of the cemeteries appear in the Album Description section since there are several of them - too numerous to list in the title.

Links to the  original .pdf versions that are held at the Mercer County Recorder's Office have already been added to the right sidebar of the blog along with other links that the Recorder is also offering on their website.  Be sure to check them out! 

Julie Peel, Mercer County Recorder, and her team, have done an excellent job of uploading their .pdf W.P.A. Cemetery Plat Maps to their website.  I encourage anyone who is researching these cemetery plat maps to reference them.

Sharing also a small sampling of the Legend of Wars / History Box images in this Mercer County collection. These double outlined boxes appearing in the lower right-hand corner of a cemetery plat map page, are worth referencing because they can contain additional information pertinent to the cemetery.  

Also, normally there is at least a short listing of the numbers associated with the wars Americans served in - i.e. number 1 for the American Revolutionary War; number 10 for the War of 1812; number 19 for the Civil War, etc. that will be needed when referencing the veteran burials listed on the map page for each cemetery.

On Page 31 - The Murlin Cemetery lists Henry Leasor as having been buried there who was an American Revolutionary War veteran.:

  
Please reference Karen Miller Bennett's wonderful blog post regarding American Revolutionary War veterans buried in Mercer County.:

The Macedon Cemetery lists two American Revolutionary War veterans buried there. Amos Spencer and James Shoonover.  Neither veteran is shown on Find a Grave for the Macedon Cemetery, however.

One more key identification for these W.P.A. Cemetery Plat Maps is that each one clearly shows:

"The Official Project Nos. of 465-42-3-467 & 
665-42-3-232" which verify they are authentic W.P.A. Cemetery Plats created by the Works Progress Administration program.

There are two cemeteries with the single name of "Township" - one is for Gibson Township, and the other one is for Marion Township.:
