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."

Find a Grave's Virtual Cemeteries - Where People of the Past with something in common can gather together one last time.

Even if you are a long time member of "Find a Grave", it is possible that you may not have taken advantage of its particularly useful tool: the "Virtual Cemetery" that it offers. 

Below is a link to my Find a Grave "Virtual Cemeteries", including my two recent and most extensive, Virtual Cemeteries. Each of them are set to Public View, meaning any member of Find a Grave can view them. 

There are other settings available via the "Edit" button; including adding a Cover Photo and Optional Description to help customize how you wish to present the Virtual Cemetery. They also can be shared to Facebook, etc. which is also a helpful feature!:

Find a Grave's "Virtual Cemeteries" is a most useful tool that can be edited, and thus updated, at any time.  

Try creating one and you'll be glad you did!
