Raver Cemetery
The OES visited Raver Cemetery on July 30, 2007. 

     Raver Cemetery is located on top of a small hill just north of Waterloo 
Eastern Road in Violet Township, Fairfield County. It can easily be missed if 
you do not know exactly where it is as most of the cemetery is not at road 
level. There were only a few tombstones standing and some of those were 
illegible, but others were in fair condition. There are likely many unmarked 
burials as tombstones fell and/or were removed over time. Historical records 
indicate the earliest known burial took place at Raver Cemetery in 1821 and the 
last burial was in 1901. There was at least one Civil War veteran buried on the 
grounds.  To view photos of all the standing tombstones at the time of our visit,
