Thread: Cheshire Cemetery

Tweet

The following are excerpts from local media sources:

Eleven caskets, some containing human remains, have emerged recently on the east bank of the reservoir near Cheshire Cemetery's former site in Delaware County.


Ten wooden coffins, a steel vault and the remains of seven people have been recovered along the edge of the Alum Creek Reservoir, the Army Corps of Engineers announced Friday.
The caskets surfaced last week near the site of the Old Cheshire Cemetery, which was relocated during construction of the Alum Creek Dam in the 1970s.

Remains estimated to be more than 100 years old were found in six of the caskets.

This isn't the first time cemetery remains have surfaced at Alum Creek. In 1991, a fisherman walking along the water found a concrete burial vault.

I wanted to share one of my props we displayed this past weekend at a "Halloween" campout. The campground is located across the resevoir from the former Cemetery location.[IMG][/IMG]

That just looks so dang awesome! Love the detail and the simplicity of it!

Glad you appreciated it Jdubbya,

The story is true, lots of people upset with the fact that much the drinking water for Columbus is pulled from below this resevoir!!!
(((((I know, its the only place with dead things in the ground????)))))

Anyway she is equipped with a spitter device, I'm not sure to many people make the connection but I like it.
