The OES visited Landes (Plum Travis) Cemetery on November 27, 2001. This cemetery is also referred to as the Lockbourne Plague Cemetery. Just east of Lockbourne Road, Landes Plum Travis Cemetery was in the middle of a corn field. The oldest stone in the cemetery dated to 1811, so that could be around the time the cemetery was founded. Records backed this up as the oldest stone belongs to Jacob Landes who died on May 12, 1811 at 12-years-old. Records stated that the last burial was John D. Plum who died February 16, 1859 at 10-years-old. Most of the tombstones present were standing, but were so eroded that we couldn't read them. Some stones were knocked over and broken. The grounds are maintained by Hamilton Township Trustees and were well taken care of on our visit. The cemetery is rumored to be haunted, but we did not get unusual EMF readings there. The rumors probably stem from the legend that this was a plague cemetery. Upon researching the dates of death of those buried here, it was discovered that the dates were widely spaced apart. This makes the likelihood of Landes (Plum Travis) Cemetery being an actual plague cemetery slim-to-none. The legend probably arose since the cemetery sits away from the road on the outskirts of town.
