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."

A big thank you to everyone who has taken a step toward improving burial sites at Ohio cemeteries, whether it be a single burial site or at an entire cemetery. 
You know who you are!

It is my goal to learn more about your work and your success so we can share it with others and keep the ball rolling sort to speak.

I have a link here to a listing on Cyndislist.com for Ohio cemeteries.  

I was pleasantly surprised to see "Exploring Almost Forgotten Gravesites in Ohio" among those on the list.  I wasn't expecting it, but it is an honor I accept with humble appreciation.
