In this case, we easily see that the longer a cemetery is abandoned the monuments fall into disrepair in various ways, and ultimately disappear to the point the landscape no longer resembles the early Ohio burial ground that it truly is.

The Marsh Cemetery on Find a Grave

Sharing a link to the virtual cemetery tour of an in-person visit to the Alexander-Downey Cemetery - Madison Township, Scioto County, Ohio - produced by "Wandering Appalachia"

 Sharing this new video from "Wandering Appalachia" produced by Eli Allen. It is short in length, however, quite visually revealing with narration  provided.  
It is a virtual cemetery tour that brings a truly stark awareness to just how remote and almost forgotten about a typical small rural burial ground can be! 

This video spotlights the Alexander-Downey Cemetery which is only one of the untold number of final resting places for early families, that now exist in one condition or another, in just about every county in the State of Ohio.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Find a Grave lists this tiny burial ground as the Downey Cemetery in Madison Township in Scioto County, Ohio. 

There is only one memorial posted on Find a Grave. 

It is for James Alexander.

A Virtual Cemetery Tour: Squire-Kallner Cemetery - Youtube - May 19 2024 visit by Eli Allen and Amanda Rae - "Wandering Appalachia" website.

Sharing this fascinating and exceedingly educational hour and six minute long cemetery video tour of an obscure but overall well kept Ohio cemetery that lies in Madison Township, in Scioto County. 

This remarkable video's excellent quality shines all the way through. 

Eli Allen's reading of the tombstone inscriptions with close up views of most of the cemetery's early markers provide the viewer a real sense of a steeped history of the pioneer settlers and this region they shaped.  The tour moves orderly from row to row making for a smooth and impactful presentation.

The tour guides are Eli Allen and Amanda Rae, and the website is "Wandering Appalachia" which lives up to its name! :

Thanking Eli Allen, creator of "WanderingAppalachia" for taking photographs (see examples above and below) at both the Friends (Quaker) and Butcher (Walnut Grove) cemeteries in North Lewisburg, Champaign County, Ohio; including some 360 degree panoramic type photographs which really help tell the story of these two early Ohio cemeteries and their current condition. 

 Unfortunately, neither cemetery is in good condition.  Both are located wholly within the boundaries of The Village of North Lewisburg so they are not the responsibility of Rush Township.  

Sadly, the Butcher Cemetery is in worse condition due to severe lack of routine care.:

-- The landscape is in need of regular grass cutting; trimming weeds around markers and monuments; as well as repairing and re-setting markers and monuments for those that need it.  

-- Also, dead trees and tree branches lying on the ground need to be removed. 

-- The cemetery sign needs to be painted or replaced due to peeling paint.

"Epitaph" - "Forbidden Twin" - Henry Clay Cooper - 1858 - 1913

Sharing from Eli Allen, President of the Scioto County Genealogical Society.:

"We think of cemeteries being conveniently located open spaces. Places where passers-by would contemplate their mortality and family members would commune with those gone before, but the places and how we travel has changed much in the last century. 

Folks once navigated the ridge lines instead of the valley floors, and there they buried their dead. 

Shawnee State Forest has many of these burial grounds. Here they were placed not because it was unfarmable waste ground because hillsides and tops were farmed as well, but because the ridges were free of flooding and were the highways of their time. 

Here is the Clay Henry Cooper burial ground, high above the valley in Shawnee State Forest."
