Sharing Recent Photographs taken by Gail Allen of the Old Burying Ground in Greenfield, Highland County, Ohio

Sharing recent photographs taken by Gail Allen who visited the Old Burying Ground in Greenfield, Highland County, Ohio.  

As you can see, several gravestones, tablet type monuments, and above ground slab-type markers remain in great need of restorative care as they have been for obviously and unfortuantely a number of years.  

Thank you Gail, so much for sharing your photographs!  I know Gail is working with other members of the Greenfield Historical Society to adopt a plan for the betterment of the Old Burying Ground in Greenfield.  

Currently, there are 343 interments listed on "Find A Grave" at the Old Burying Ground.

"Can you help?  Many different things need to be done to clean up this cemetery, it will require work and organization.  

Volunteers are needed.  There will be physical work needed, mapping, photographing and lots of organizing.  This is a wonderful way to give back, to work for a solution.  Anyone interested in history, genealogy, community service, as well as those with family members buried here are encouraged to join the effort.  If you're not local or close enough to drive to Marion to physically take part, please consider making a monetary donation to The Genealogy Society to help."
