More on Whiskeyville Cemetery - Part 2

The Lorain Journal did a great job covering the April 1959 disinterment and reburial of the people buried in the small cemetery at Whiskeyville. The paper included regular updates of the progress.

This article (which I posted before) appeared in the paper April 7, 1959. It includes the names of some of the people whose remains were identified at that point.

This article noting that the exhumations were complete ran in the Journal on April 11, 1959.

The next step was the reburial of the remains of the 18 persons at Kendeigh Corners Cemetery on Quarry Road. This poignant photo appeared in the Journal on April 16, 1959.

Today the reburial site for the 18 is located at the northeast corner (in the rear) of Kendeigh Corners Cemetery.
