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."

Sharing important information regarding an imposter -- a fake account on Facebook - using my exact name and photograph of me, but who is NOT ME! Please do not accept any friend requests from this hacked account of me on Facebook!!! Thank you.

I do feel it is important to note here, in my blog that I started in 2008, that on Facebook, I was Linda Jean Limes Ellis.  Limes is my maiden name.  

Sadly, since Facebook has removed my account which occurred on January 18, 2026, a fake - and most likely hacked - account of me has emerged using my own photograph and my specific name of Linda Jean Limes Ellis.  

This is NOT ME!!!

As of this writing, I am unable to access Facebook in any form. 

Facebook has not allowed me back on as a member citing "account integrity".  

I have used up my one and only appeal to re-join Facebook not even knowing what community rule I had broken!!    

Thus, please keep in mind NOT to accept any friend requests on Facebook from this hacked account because it is not me.  

Below is the photograph that this hacked account has stolen and is using as their own to impersonate me. I don't believe it has the text below my image as this version of my photograph has, however, it is the exact same photograph which I own.:

I am a member of  Find a Grave and my name on Find a Grave is Linda Jean Limes Ellis; the same as it was on Facebook.

In 2013, I created "Preserving Ohio's Cemeteries" on Facebook with 15 members.  At last count, there are approximately 1,600 members.  Sadly, I am no longer a member due to Facebook removing me and my account for an unknown reason at the time of the removal.

Thank you.

Calvary Cemetery, Lorain Ohio - April 9, 2017 - Unexpectedly Finding a long-lost friend Touched My Heart.

Sharing my photos of myself and Joan D. (Szczepankiewicz) Stevens of Lorain taken at Calvary Cemetery in Lorain, Ohio on April 9, 2017.  
While at Calvary Cemetery in Lorain, I decided its time to visit the gravesite of some of my Szczepankiewicz family members from my maternal grandmother's family.  Specifically, Stanley Szczepankiewicz and his wife Sophie's gravesites. 
While walking toward the gravestone, I immediately saw a lady finishing up decorating it with Easter flowers.  I decided to walk up and ask her if she is Joan Stevens, the daughter of Stanley and Sophie, whom I had written to over the years but not received recent replies from, unfortunately.  She said she was indeed Joan Stevens, so we struck up a conversation and I told her about my maternal great-grandmother's gravesite in another section that she said she had never visited before.  I mentioned that if she had time to follow us there, I would show it to her.  My maternal great-grandmother is Antonina Szczepankiewicz.  So we stopped at my ancestor's gravesite where my husband took our photo standing by it.  Afterward, we drove up to another section of the cemetery to visit the gravesites of Joan's grandparents Antoni and Victoria (Krokos) Szczepankiewicz.  Antoni and Antonina were siblings. 
Meeting Joan so unexpectedly certainly was the highlight of my day.  She is such a remarkable person that at age 85 and after overcoming major health issues, still drives out to decorate her parents' gravesites.  I pray she is able to continue with her visits for many years to come.
