Story
I had recently been gift a gallon of D/2, and to reciprocate the gift I had asked the donor if they had a family member whose headstone could use some work. The donor provided us the name of John Henry in Rushtown, Ohio. So we set off for Rush Township Burial Park.
If you were to travel to Rush Township Burial Park you will find that there are two cemeteries that adjoined one another: Rush Township Burial Park and Scioto Burial Park
Unfortunately, Google Maps currently clusters these two burial grounds together one being private and the other held in ownership by the township trustees.
While waiting for John Henry’s monument to dry, I took a stroll around the cemetery to see if there were any FindAGrave requests that needed to be fulfilled. This is when I came across the marker for John M. Hill
