General Information
The OES visited the Hendren Cemetery on April 10, 2004. Also known as Barnhart Cemetery, what remains of this cemetery is just off of State Route 317 in Groveport, near a new industrial park. Established in 1826, this cemetery has at least 35 recorded burials and probably looked very pleasant. Today it is in, by far, the worst condition of any cemetery we have ever visited. All of the stones are broken and piled into an overgrown area in the corner of a field. It's safe to say that almost none of the tombstones are in their proper location. Many of them could not be read because of erosion and other damage. When we visited, there were dead dear carcasses scattered about the grounds. Could it be cult related, or is it just remains of a hunter's kill? We will probably never know. There is one thing that is certain, this cemetery has been forgotten for a long time. There is some construction going on in the adjoining field, so it could be just a matter of time until it vanishes completely. UPDATE: A restoration project is now underway to clean-up and restore the stones at Hendren Cemetery. Some progress has already been made in placing a plaque with those buried listed and re-setting some of the tombstones.
