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 Spotlights "Graves to Love" for Valentine's Day 2026 - And we can visit the graves we love too !

Sharing a "Happy Valentine's Day" post from Find a Grave's blog entitled: "Graves to Love". 

The examples that Find a Grave shares are quite befitting for the special day that has been set aside to honor enduring love and devotion during lifetimes and reaching beyond the boundaries of time. 

The exquisite carvings on these marvelous monuments, many erected over a hundred years ago, showcase the stories of eternal love and devotion that are so appropriate to ponder on a day like Valentine's Day.
