Other_Information:
THERE ARE SEVERAL STONES OR PARTS OF STONES LEFT OUT OF ABOUT 100 FOR
THE PEOPLE STILL BURIED THERE. MOST ARE IN UNMARKED GRAVES, SOME STONES
UNREADABLE AND/OR BADLY BROKEN AND/OR MISSING. THIS IS A HISTORICAL
CEMETERY AS IT WAS THE FIRST CEMETERY AND SITE OF THE FIRST CHURCH IN
FRANKLIN COUNTY OHIO. THE LAND WAS A GIFT FROM LUCAS SULLIVANT (FOUNDER
OF FRANKLINTON/COLUMBUS) WAS BURRIED HERE ALSO AND LATTER MOVED TO
GREEN LAWN CEMETERY. AS OF TODAY 07/25/05 THE CEMETERY IS HOME TO
HOMELESS PEOPLE, HAS TONS OF TRASH LAYING AROUND EVERYWHERE, OVERGROWN
WEED BUSHES, BROKEN STONES, ETC...THE CITY OF COLUMBUS, OHIO HAS
IGNORED MY CONCERNS SO FAR.
