The OES visited Oak Grove Cemetery on May 5, 2001. Upon arriving, we noticed that the tombstones near the entrance were newer, some up to the current date even. We drove around to the other side of a hill and the older tombstones appeared. There were a few hundred tombstones in the cemetery and most were in great condition. There were only a handful, mostly from the 1800s, that were faded beyond recognition. The oldest date of death found on a tombstone was 1811, so the cemetery was probably founded around that time frame. There were many Civil War veterans buried in the cemetery as well. Overall Oak Grove Cemetery was an interesting place to visit. To get there, turn onto Bausch Road from Norton. Bausch Road will turn into Alkire Road. Just follow this road until you see the cemetery on the right. Total distance is about 5 miles west from Norton Road.
