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."

Dolley Meek - Find A Grave Memorial

Dolley Meek - Find A Grave Memorial

Placed links within the biographies of Alley, Dolley, Mary and Jasper Meek on each of their "Find A Grave" memorials to make it easier to click and link from one to the other.  

I am still searching for who their parents were.  

They all died young and this one rather fancy small open book marker was placed in the back of the Butcher Cemetery in North Lewisburg, Champaign County, Ohio for all four of them.  Their parents are not buried at the Butcher Cemetery from what is known.
