The gravestones in this photo are largely flat and flush with the ground with 
the exception of the upright gravestones for William S. Dillon, his wife 
Rachel Reed Dillon and Vincent's father, Vincent Dillon Sr and his wife, 
Hannah Jackson Dillon, located at the far end of the cemetery.  The cemetery 
is located in section 13 of Windsor Twp., Lawrence Co., Ohio and was 
originally a family cemetery on the land of Vincent Dillon Sr who purchased 
this land in the late 1840s.  Quite probably Vincent's father, John Dillon, 
(c1785-c1848) was the first burial following his death c1848.  His gravesite 
may be represented by one of the many unmarked stones.  Of the 40 or so known 
burials, more than half are connected to Vincent's extended family.  Upon 
Vincent Dillon Sr's death in 1892, the cemetery was deeded to the Methodist 
Episcopalian Church in Scottown.  Vincent had been a co-founder of that 
church.  Only several burials are known to have taken place in this cemetery 
in the past 60 years, though descendants of family here buried have reported 
returning for Memorial Day commemorations during 1930s and 1940s.
