I've worked on several cemetery indexes and usually, the County is responsible and pays for the burial. There are several other names for these graves but today, the common term is indigent graves. http://greenlawn.delawareohio.us/ The above are cemeteries in Columbus, Ohio, Cincinnati, Ohio and Delaware, Ohio.

I have never talked to anyone before that knew about the existance of these graves, except a cousin who originally told me about it. You say you fround an ancestor in one. How did you find him? How was is marked? Are they in regular cemeteries or separate? How could I get info on them? The one you described sounded like the one Im looking for. When the county buries them, what do they do for ID? Well, I appreciate any info you can give me on them. It very wll may be why I cant find my dads death. Do they keep any kind of a record and if so where? Thank you, Patricia
