Green Lawn Cemetery in Columbus Shares Vintage Videos of Past Ceremonies and 150th Anniversary Celebration

If you are a fan of Green Lawn Cemetery in Columbus, Ohio and its history, please be sure to check out the Videos Section of the cemetery's Facebook Page.  Some of the early videos have recently been digitized and posted.

I attended Green Lawn Cemetery's celebration of their 150th Anniversary - 1848 - 1998 on Saturday, September 26th, 1998.  

I donated a binder of family information for my Duvall and Limes ancestors who were buried at Green Lawn Cemetery that I had compiled for that wonderful event.  I was so pleased to hand deliver it.

Now, 20 years later, I learned that the binder was given to the Columbus Metro Library for their collection.  

Thanks to Loraine M. Wilmers, the contents of my binder have been scanned and placed online at the library.:

"Anderson Twp. veterans' headstones disturbed, but it's not what it seems"

Abstracted from the news article.:

"Pictures surfaced on social media Thursday showing headstones belonging to veterans strewn across the grounds of Hillcrest Cemetery in Anderson.

Todd Mayer, a member of the cemetery 

board, said the photos show that someone 

recently tried to move the headstone, but that

 those stones had never been in place on

 graves.

The Hillcrest Cemetery has had a troubled 

history. Unfortunately, no one knows where

 the soldiers, whose headstones were in the 

photos, are buried."
