The OES visited Grove City Cemetery on July 3, 2003, just after midnight. The main portion of the cemetery was established in 1906 with nine acres of land. the nearby Saint John’s Evangelical Lutheran Cemetery, also known as the German Lutheran Cemetery, which dated to 1830 was relocated here. This small section of the cemetery predates the establishment of Grove City Cemetery. The grounds are kept in excellent condition and there was minimal damage to tombstones. While the newer section offered some unique tombstones, the most interesting were those in the relocated cemetery, most of which were written in old German script. Nothing unusual or paranormal occurred during our visit to the cemetery.
