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."

Spotlighting the Garfield Cemetery located in Sheffield, Lorain County, Ohio

Click on title to link to a great site for the Garfield Cemetery in Sheffield, Lorain County, Ohio. 

Very nice photographs of the beautiful old white marble upright stones are featured on the site. 

Unfortunately, the link for the listing of burials did not work for me on this site.  However, you can also find Garfield Cemetery on Find A Grave where currently 711 memorials for burials are listed.
