Sizelove, Sr. sizelove@johnstown.net 06 August, 2001 *********************************************************************** I wish to present the readings of MT. Olive Cemetery, located on Hartsough Road (TR156), south of state route 180, near the village of South Perry. I found this cemetery to be well cared for and containing several hundred burials, some from early in the 1800's. This cemetery is still in use and is situated near several homes. I would like to give my appreciation to Ed Pool of Bremen, Ohio, for his kindness in helping me locate this cemetery and sharing additional information concerning many of the ancestral loved ones buried here. As always, I make every attempt to read the memorials carefully, but make no warranty to being 100% correct. Many of the older stones are no longer readable and some only partially so. I will be starting this report with only partial readings as this is my first visit to this cemetery. I do plan to return within the next year to continue readings. I will make no attempt at this time to list in rows or areas. On future trips I will try to arrange my readings in a more thoughtful manner. Robert M. Sizelove, Sr., (c) 06 August 2001 1.
