Cemeteries
We encourage you to visit our beautiful cemeteries of Lawrence County, Ohio. Take photos, and take the time to read the tombstones. Then research the people lying in rest, say a small prayer for them, and share with others what you learned. We must work to preserve these sacred grounds; someone must take the place of the caretakers who have passed on.
Unfortunately, like in every county, many of our ancestor’s resting places have been destroyed. If members of the family have moved from here, there is no one to take care of the cemetery.
Weather, farm animals, machinery, and just plain vandalism are the main result of many of the cemetery’s demise. If you need assistance in locating either a grave or a cemetery, the township trustees are the best place to begin. Let’s teach the next generation how to be caretakers of the remaining cemeteries we have located.
