Spotlighting Mound Hill Cemetery in Gallipolis, Gallia County, Ohio -- Is My Grand-Aunt Cora Lombard Millington Buried in Potters Field at Mound Hill Cemetery?

Thanking Cheryl A. Enyart of the Gallia County Historical Society for taking the three photographs below.  

Two photographs are from the sign honoring the memory of those buried in Potters Field at Mound Hill Cemetery. 

The other photograph is a view of the Potters Field area where Cheryl said about 10 flat gravemarkers are seen that identify burials.   

**********

I have a possible connection to the Mound Hill Cemetery through my grand-aunt, Cora Lombard Millington, who was an older sister of my grandmother, Essie Lillian Lombard Limes.  

Cora died at the Ohio Hospital for Epileptics on March 23, 1902.

The story in our family is that no one went down to claim Cora's body. 

 Per "Find A Grave":

 5,568 interments listed for Mound Hill Cemetery. 

 

Both of the above photographs were taken by the Baker Photography Studio in Columbus, Ohio.  They are of the children of David Edward Lombard and his wife, Lena (Youker) Lombard.  

(The photograph on the left was taken at a later date than the one on the right.)
