Description
This is an old rural cemetery which has been neglected but one
grave has been maintained by the DAR. The maintained grave is of Lewis
Boyer, a body guard of George Washington.
Other Problems
I was told this cemetery is being used for cult meetings.
Previous Contacts
I haven't contacted anyone because I didn't know who to contact. I
was told the DAR is familiar with the condition of this cemetery so I
was satisfied the DAR would take some action to save it. I guess I was
wrong.
Current Status
I don't know because I only return to Ohio once a year.
