Does anyone have directory of who is buried here ?

If you go to findagrave.com, you will find Monroe Cemetery listed there. You will find most names along with many pictures of headstones. So many are no longer readable. http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=csr&CScnty=2103&CSsr=21&

Thanks. I have seen this listing before and know that a number of the headstones are unreadable as I have a great aunt buried here with a headstone in Hungarian that is not on the list. My question was more driven at getting information on those buried who did not have headstones. Were any records kept of who might have been buried here – I should have 2 great grandparent (James and Eliza Bishop) buried here without a headstone.

Try the Perry County Library. I know there is a paperback “book” of listings of the different cemetery’s and people buried there. But I don’t know how accurate it would be. I know someone who has one, I will see if she still has it. I’m not sure who is over the cemetery.

unless there is a specific caretaker of the cemetery, which there usually isn’t, The township trustees must take care of it by law. Sometimes they get old cemetery records when it is turned over to them. you might try to locate the head twp trustee and ask there?

I was there right before Memorial Day and was very disappointed. My grandmother’s grave is at the bottom left of the cemetery, right at the edge of the left side. Her’s along with 2 others, were totally missed, being over-grown with weeds and briars. My husband went over and cut it the next day. My brother had to do it last year.
