The OES visited the Ray Watkins Cemetery on November 27, 2001. We originally thought this was Stimmel Cemetery, but later found otherwise. Located off of Parsons Avenue in far-south Columbus, this cemetery was founded in 1830. The oldest stones we could find dated to 1856. The township takes nice care of this cemetery, even though the heavy iron gate was broken and held in place by a few pieces of wire. Most of the tombstones were in pretty good condition for the most part. There were only a few that are broken or knocked over. Thanks goes to the nice guy at Fisher's Greenhouse for the information he provided and giving us permission.
