DESCRIPTION:

This volume comprises all the cemetery records originally published in the fifteen volumes of The "Old Northwest" Genealogical Quarterly between 1898 and 1912. It consists principally of tombstone inscriptions from cemeteries in the following counties in northeastern and central Ohio: Athens, Delaware, Fairfield, Franklin (including the city of Columbus), Geauga, Guernsey, Jackson, Knox, Licking, Lorain, Madison, Pickaway, Portage, Ross, Trumbull, and Vinton.

Researchers will find the data in Ohio Cemetery Records to be especially rich in genealogical value since many of the recorded inscriptions identify not only the age and date of death of the deceased, but also the names of parents, spouse, or children. For the benefit of the researcher a full-name index to the nearly 20,000 persons identified in the records has been specially prepared for this publication.
