Start here. The cemetery location information in Volumes 1, 4, and 6 (online only) includes GPS coordinates when they were available.

    A side note about the "cem****" pages for each township with the map, location, directions, and tidbits of cemetery information: Volumes 4 and 6 (ONLINE only) now include the GPS coordinates for each cemetery (where that information was available). As soon as I can, I'll add the coordinates for the cemeteries in the other four volumes.

    Program: Clues in Calico
    Presenter: Sharon Pinka of Lexington, Ohio
    This program is about family quilts. Sharon has collected and researched old quilts for many years. She is adept at recognizing the era in which the quilt was made, the dyes used, and the patterns in the quilt. She can share many secrets about your quilt, how to care for it, and often times can provide an approximate value. We encourage the community to bring their old quilts to this meeting. Enjoy the program, as you will be an important part of the presentation. For more information contact: Betty Meier 1-740-397-4855
