First, I feel it important to extend my appreciation to Ron and Sheila Amore for sharing their photographs that they have taken during their tours of several North Central Ohio cemeteries.
They have been regular contributors to the Facebook Group "Preserving Ohio's Cemeteries". They are helping to preserve cemeteries through their photographic documentation which illustrates the current condition of so many rural burial grounds that dot Ohio's landscape that exist in various areas of the state.
