Hello, How about two cemeteries in Union Twp? The old Eaton cemetery on the south side of that town was a disgrace last time I looked. There is lots to do there from clearing brush to re-setting and levelling stones. And the Old Settler's section of the Union Cemetery on SR 3 is rapidly deteriorating. I wonder if there are stones under the sod in that section, but I have not probed. I plan to stop by there Thursday. There are some stones equally as old in the neighboring section of the cemetery, which has an association. Gravestones that seem unreadable disappear from Union Cemetery. My aunt told me about this years ago, seeing tombstones leaning against the maintenance building. More recently a small stone for Sophronia Miller, my 3rd great grandmother disappeared. She was buried beside her son and his wife, and I have the photo to prove it. The small stone is no longer there. It was hard to read 15 years ago. I asked management about it and was told no stone had ever been there. They seem fairly firm in their position.
