Dear Ms. Stewart-Zimmerman,

I am sadly writing to report a cemetery that has been destroyed.  McKitrick 
listed the Lane Cemetery in Wesley Twp,, Washington Co. in his Cemetery 
Inscriptions of Washington Co, Ohio.  There was no known reading.  His 
directions were incorrect but I was able to locate the site of the cemetery 
on property that belonged to the Lane family according to the 1875 D.J. Lake 
Atlas of Washington Co..  This family plot was bulldozed by the current 
owner, a pig farmer, about 1990.  The stones were pushed into a ravine and 
are now completely buried.  My great great great grandfather John Lane, came 
to Washington Co. in 1806 and purchased the farm in Wesley Twp. not long 
after.

I would have loved to have been able to read the stones and pass on the 
information for this very exciting and worthwhile project.

Sincerely,
Julie Stanbery Gibson Kant
