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."

"D/2 is a safer, easy to use liquid used to restore brick, stone, concrete, wood, vinyl & aluminum siding, fiberglass, metal, paint and canvas.

A contact time of only 10-15 minutes will remove stains caused by algae, mold, mildew and lichens with manual scrubbing. Fungi, algae, lichens, mold and mosses contribute significantly to the degradation and disfiguring of many types of construction materials.

Tested and used by the Department of Veterans Affairs and the National Park Service, D/2 is a biodegradable cleaner that is ph neutral and contains no salts, bleach or acids. It is highly effective for removing stains caused by mold, mildew, algae, lichens and air pollutants."
