    1. [OHKNOX] St. Johns Cemetery, Pleasant Twp.

    3. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: Nira349 Surnames: PORTER Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.ohio.counties.knox/2969/mb.ashx Message Board Post: I am wondering if anyone knows where the records to this cemetery might be? I have several ancestors who are buried here. Only one ancestor, my great uncle Frederick M. PORTER (b. 1879 d. 1966) is listed in the volumes of "Cemetery Records of Knox County". I'm assuming the others have no tombstones. I have the death certificates for Leander PORTER (d. 28 Apr 1917), Harry L. PORTER (d. 13 Dec 1947), and Mary R. PORTER (d. 9 Jun 1923), all of which state that they are buried in this St. Johns Cemetery. I know this is an active cemetery as I have seen an obituary for someone who was buried there earlier this year. Since it would be required to know where there are open spaces before burying someone there has to be records of this cemetery somewhere. The church St. Johns Evangelical Lutheran was at one time next to this cemetery, but no longer exists. I am wondering if any records from this church exists to the day, and are now kept somewhere by the county for this cemetery? I have read that the church basically disappeared in the 1880s. Thanks for any info anyone can provide! Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
