Gravestone Photographs

Primitive Baptist Church stands at northeast corner of the trianglular shaped property bordered by Baltimore-Reynoldsburg Road (Ohio 256) on the west, Jackson Street on the east, and South Street on the north.  The cemetery was established in 1844.  The church building is quite old, but at this time I don't know how old.  Sunday services are still held at the church.  The cemetery was beautifully restored in 1998 and is in excellent condition.  (Photos taken across Jackson Sreet and from South & Jackson streets)  This cemetery was recorded/indexed about 1940.  The names that appear in the 1940 index, but have no photos are all listed alphabetically along with those for whom there are photos.  Any underlined information (no link) is taken from the 1940 index or was guessed at by yours truly.
