Lay Me Down to Rest: Ep. 4 Skelton Cemetery - Williams County, Ohio

Skelton Cemetery on Find A Grave

Logan County, Ohio WPA Cemetery Plat Maps have been added to the right side column of the blog

Please note: all of the WPA - Works Progress Administration  Cemetery Plat Maps for Logan County, Ohio have been uploaded to FLICKR in a public album and are available on this blog in the right-hand column as a collection of the maps for the entire county.  

Note also that those map pages that have two or more cemeteries on them that also have different townships on one page are grouped together in their own photo album in the collection.  There are 24 such pages.  

Please keep in mind that these cemeteries were read in the 1930s during the years of the Great Depression.  Thus, names of cemeteries during that time may be changed now.  Several of the smaller cemeteries had the name "farm" in them, meaning there is a strong possibility that they are defunct today.

The maps have been converted from PDF format to JPG format.

"From These Roots" - By Esther Westlake - A 50th family reunion archive (1910 - 1960). Main Surnames: Abraham /Abrams, Adams, Chappell, Coe, Miller, McClung, Walke, Westlake

Following are pages listing the children and descendants of the Robert V. Abrams and Margaret Coe Abrams family that were created for the 50th anniversary family reunion that was held in 1960 in Marysville, Ohio.

The father of Robert V. Abrams was Daniel C. Abraham.  Daniel Abraham's father appears to have been William Abraham who was born in Ireland. At some point, and for whatever reason, for some family members the surname changed from Abraham to Abrams.

The family information appears to have been compiled and shared by Esther Westlake, 7 East 14th Avenue, Columbus 1, Ohio.  

Locations where some of these family members lived in Ohio were: Jefferson County, Champaign County, and Union County.

These images were shared by a descendant,  Mr. Gordon McClung.

Focusing on Martha Matilda Abrams McClung, who died on November 20, 1873 at about age 27, was a daughter of Robert V. Abrams and his wife Margaret Coe Abrams.  Martha's final resting place was at the Butcher (AKA Walnut Grove Cemetery) in North Lewisburg, Champaign County, Ohio. 

Martha's husband was Isaac C. McClung, Jr..  He outlived Martha by about 43 years and was buried at the Maple Grove Cemetery in Rush Township near North Lewisburg, also in Champaign County in 1917.
