Deb: I didn't get to the cemeteries when I was in Cinci back in September but I did go today as I was back in town. Took a little more than 3 hrs from downtown Cinci which wasn't too bad and I had a GPS with me which made it go quicker. I mapped out the addresses with Yahoo Maps and the GPS and I got to each great although Rugby I ended up using the Yahoo Map directions. I stopped at the Walmart in Oberlin and got some lunch at Subway, a few US flags, and some potted flowers. One of the nice ladies at the Oberlin offices that assists with the cemetery sent me a picture of one of the gravestones as well as the section #'s for two sets of relatives in Westwood. I also used the map that you sent me. I still had a hard time finding the gravestones and ended up asking for help from the caretakers (found Miles Standish Bassetts on my own while I was standing with the caretaker and he even remebered taking the picture. I also noticed that his daughter is buried next to him - Kate S. Bassett Weeks). I set the flowers and flags and headed off to Evergreen Cemetery. I had a picture of the gravestone which was a rather large monument and I knew he served in the RW so I looked for flags. It still took me about 30 minutes of driving around to find it. Very quiet and peaceful here. I laid the flowers and flags and headed off to North Ridge Cemetery. I was a little scared after it took so long to find the gravestones at the other two cemeteries but I found this one almost immediately after entering the cemetery. I laid the flowers and flag and headed to Rugby Cemetery. Smaller cemetery and I again had a picture so I knew what to look for. I laid the flowers and flag and headed back to Cinci. I just wish I had more time to tour the area. Wanted to go to Elyria but missed it. It was nice to drive through Russia and Brownhelm Twnshps which are areas mentioned in the obits of my relatives.
