County, Ohio Virtual Cemetery Project |
The Ford Cemetery is a long neglected cemetery located in a heavily wooded area on a privately owned 139 acre parcel of vacant farm land in Virginia Military District Survey #4239. Some of the early owners of the property can be identified by looking at various maps which would include J. Spence (1856, 1867, 1875), T. D. Spence (1892), W. F. Eltzroth (1903) & J. M. Cretcher (1932). The cemetery is included in the WPA Veteran Grave Registration Project as Cemetery #26 on page 13 which shows 7 rows containing 10 graves each. The plat does not identify any veteran burials. There were 33 known burials in this cemetery from 1815 to 1886 plus a footstone which does not match any of the names. Sadly, hardly any of the stones remain standing in 2009 and many of the stones are in pieces. Our volunteers were able to find and photograph all but the stone for Nancy Fulks, dau. of J. & C. Fulks who died on 20 Dec 1835 aged 26 days. |
