From Brian S. Miller:

"I have added some new features to the Engineer’s Cemetery Map.":

 

1. In the upper right-hand corner of the screen, you will now see a GPS coordinates tool that reads the GPS coordinates on the fly as you move your mouse. You can also capture GPS coordinates of any location on the map by clicking the cursor icon button on the left side of the GPS tool, select the location on the map and your desired coordinates are saved to the GPS tool window. Once captured, you can then click the copy to clipboard button on the right side of the GPS tool. Now you can paste those coordinates to any desired application you need it for.
2. In the row of tools at the bottom, I have added the Share Tool icon, which allows you to copy and share a link to anyone of the map at the location you are zoomed into.
3. In the lower right-hand corner of the screen, I have added the Measurement tool, which can come in quite handy if you need to measure something on the map. It will measure in many different units. Measuring distances is in feet by default. Measuring an area is in square feet by default.

 

"These 3 new features can be quite handy in certain circumstances."

**************

"BLOOMINGBURG, Ohio — Historian and educator Paul LaRue will lead a program called “A Walk in the Bloomingburg Cemetery” on Monday, June 16, 2025, at 6:30 p.m., giving a tour of prominent gravesites from Fayette County. The Bloomingburg Cemetery is located on State Route 38 in Bloomingburg."

"The “cemetery walk” is open to the public. LaRue’s tours provide history and genealogical facts about prominent people of Fayette County, and this tour will focus on Bloomingburg.

A former history teacher and researcher, LaRue’s tours are educational and informative. He thanked the Bloomingburg Cemetery Board “for allowing this tour to take place.”

The Fayette County Genealogical Society is sponsoring the tour. All are welcome to attend and learn from history, LaRue said."

The Pleasant View Cemetery (AKA Pleasant View Union Cemetery) has a Soldiers' Circle. 

Sharing from the Description provided for this cemetery as listed for it on Find a Grave.:
"The Pleasant View Cemetery is located west of Maple Street and south of Ontario Street in the southwest section of the village of Fayette. The older section of Pleasant View Cemetery was a family burial ground on land owned by John Gamber. By 1852 the site had been expanded to serve the local area. The first burial is difficult to determine as grave markers were moved to Pleasant View from abandoned cemeteries. The first burial may have been as early as 1836."
