Gravestone Photographs

There is no sign telling you that you have arrived at the Old Somerford Cemetery; the only thing that greets a visitor are the few remaining gravestones and a well kept lawn.  The cemetery lies on the west side of State Route 56 (Urbana-London Road) at the extreme north end of the village of Somerford in Somerford Townhip.  Though the cemetery still has just over ninety gravestones it seems obvious that a cemetery this size contains many more remains.  If you have any additions or corrections to this page, please contact Leona at
