Sharing a Recent Story about the Odd Fellows Cemetery in Amelia, Clermont County, Ohio

Sharing a story published online May 9, 2013 at "Cincinnati.com," written by Keith BieryGolick, about the village of Amelia's plans to not only restore the Odd Fellows Cemetery but also to construct a veterans' wall to honor their fallen war heroes.  

Additionally, over 100 employees of Home Depot volunteered their time recently helping to restore many of the broken tombstones.  

The Odd Fellows Cemetery, AKA Amelia IOOF Cemetery, has 712 interments listed for it on "Find A Grave."

My Memorial Day Visit to All Saints Cemetery in Northfield, Summit County, Ohio

I visited All Saints Cemetery in Northfield, Summit County, Ohio on this Memorial Day, 2013 looking for veterans stones to photograph.  Of course, there are more there than I could easily count, but I chose a few of them to photograph and share today.  They are all in Section 4.

Only one interment was posted on "Find A Grave" of those markers that I photographed, and it was missing the tombstone photograph.  So I was able to add the picture of it to the memorial today.
