The OES visited May Cemetery on July 1, 2001. Located just outside Eaton in Preble County, this small cemetery was off State Route 122, southeast of Eaton, at the edge of a field. The cemetery is also known as Fisher Cemetery, but there is a large number of people with the surname May buried here. The cemetery seemed to have been established in the mid 1800s. Most of the tombstones were in decent shape with only a few being weathered or broken. The grounds seemed to be well taken care of considering the cemetery had been unused for such a long time.
Thanks to Corrine for taking us to May Cemetery.
