Cemetery description
Contains graves of pioneer settlers of Dayton, Ohio. Last interment
1874. Abandoned in the 1930's by private owners, now the
responsibility of the city of Dayton. Volunteers at work to find,
clean and secure grave markers - almost all of which are broken and a
majority missing.
Other Problems
The greatest threat is vandalism while research and repair
underway. Need help securing gravestones.
