Wayne County OhArchives Cemeteries.....Old Dutch Reformed-Old Congress Cemetery - Complete Survey ************************************************ Copyright. All rights reserved. http://www.usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm http://www.usgwarchives.net/oh/ohfiles.htm ************************************************ File contributed for use in USGenWeb Archives by: Megan Kyser biochicau@yahoo.com February 14, 2009, 9:25 pm Abstracted By: Megan Kyser Old Dutch Reformed Church once sat in the Northern corner of this land-where there are no stones. The sign is a large boulder that sits in the corner. The cemetery is located in the SW corner of the intersection of State Route 539 and Wayne County Road 48 in Congress Township, Wayne County, Ohio- just south of the town of Congress. Well kept, windy and open, inactive. Many badly eroded or sunken stones. Many of the stones here are from the 1800's and most are/were made of marble. This cemetery was recorded on June 10, 1972 by Edna Keim Conrad and her husband Merle. The reading was revisited in October and November of 2088 by Megan and Andy Kyser. You can find the original transcription of this cemetery in the Wayne County OGS chapter's book-Cemetery Records of Wayne County Ohio. The reading is given in order- start with the row closest to SR539 at the north East. Follow down that row then row 2 reads South to North, row 3 North to South and so on.
