| General Information |
| The OES visited Oak Grove Cemetery on May 5, 2001. Located near Georgesville, Ohio, we had visited this cemetery before a few years ago and remembered seeing old tombstones. Upon arriving, we noticed that the tombstones near the entrance are newer, some from this year even. We drove around to the other side of the hill, and sure enough, the old tombstones appeared. There are a few hundred tombstones here and most are in great condition. There are only a handful (mostly of the 1800s) that are 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 are also a lot of Civil War soldiers buried here. This is a pretty 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. | |
