    3. Thanks very much Ken. The Bloom Twp. Baptist church is a very likely possibility. I will check with Linda Houyouse about it's history. I am aware of the entry regarding John and Mary (Gwinner) Weisenauer in the Seneca County, Ohio History and Famlies book, but I appreciate your "going the extra mile" as you always do in providing answers to queries. Kind regards, Mary Ross >> >>What is the history of this cemetery? From the name, I assume that >>it was once associated with a Baptist church.
