Shanks Cemetery

Located in Jackson twp., is .7mile west of CR 82 and .25mile south of CR 76 along 
south bank of Reevhorn Run.  40.42.07N/-83.29.32W  Located in a woods.

April 2008 Ken and I finally found this cemetery. You have to park on the road, 
walk across a field, walk across a CREEK (shallow thank goodness) and up a steep 
hill! It is quite a HIKE! Luckily the hill has a wide path cleared off to make way 
for an underground gas line AND the bright orange stake marking the gas line at 
the top of the hill is where the cemetery is, just off the path the east about 20
foot.  We took photos of all tombstones there.
