Union Township - Fayette County, Ohio - Bush Cemetery, Sugar Creek Baptist and Sugar Creek Methodist Cemeteries

Click on Title to link to the Union Township Cemeteries page found on the site for the Fayette County Township Association. 

The site includes a few nice photographs of each cemetery, regulations, policies and fees information. 

At present, the other townships in Fayette County of Concord, Green, Jasper, Jefferson, Madison, Marion, Paint, Perry, and Wayne do not offer cemetery information on this site.  Hopefully, these townships will follow Union Township's example and offer photographs and other information about their cemeteries soon.

Additional notes from Ralph L. Coleman, Jr. regarding Isaac McClung:

"There is only one Isaac McClung in the records for Maple Grove Cemetery. He is not distinguished by a Sr. or Jr.

He is buried in Square 18, Lot 2, Grave 2. In the same lot are:

Lucy McClung, Square 18, Lot 2, Grave 1, "1991" as additional information.

Lebanon McClung, Square 18, Lot 2, Grave 3, no additional information.

Infant of Lebanon McClung, Square 18, Lot 2, Grave 4, no additional information.

There are no known records for Freeman Funeral Home for the period 1910-early 1926, so I have not way of ascertaining if this is the Isaac McClung, Jr., you discussed in your e-mail."

Erie Street Cemetery - Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, Ohio - New story about Cuyahoga Community College Students cleaning up Erie Street Cemetery and taking an active interest in its history

Click on title to link to a wonderful story in today's Cleveland "Plain Dealer" in the "Metro Section" about how students from Cuyahoga Community College are helping to maintain Cleveland's early burial ground, the Erie Street Cemetery. 

This is a "win - win" activity that more students can take a lesson from.
