What dose the public ground mean's? The book has my great grandfather Hershel and it say's public ground. It also say the same thing on his son Donald. I have found Donald grave. Its not that far from the building down below.
The power of the internet is an amazing thing. Thank you, so much for posting these photos. This is someplace I have never visited, but have always wanted to. It appears to be a lovely, lovely place.
There used to be a large brick house in the lot next to the cement pond shown in this photo. I lived there when i was a little girl in the early seventies. It looked similar to the smaller buidling inside the cemetery gates. If anyone has any information about it, please share. I have been unable to find any at all! Thanks!
THANK you for your beautiful photos of this lovely cemetery. At last I have found the resting place of James Dawson Wade, my great great grandfather. I know there are other Wade graves there including my great great grandmother. This is so much appreciated.

Well, after getting through ALL the photos and seeing other Goulds, it seems Joseph Gould may not be the "orphan" I had thought he was...sorry about that.
Hi! Nice work here. I hope you don't mind, but I just did a quick post on rootsweb.com message boards, under Ohio (unknonw) , for this guy thinking he may be missing from a family somewhere. I pointed anyone interested back here. Thanks for all the great work you've put into your site...and all these photos of original sources too! Thank you!!
The images of these biographies and those of the burials in Brush Creek Cemetery have been invaluable to me in filling in my Hagar family tree. Thank you for making them available.
D.W. James is my great-great grandfather. He is my great grandfather, John J. Haley's, father-in-law. His daughter Clarissa James married John J. Haley in Louisianna, Mo., Dec. 20th, 1861.
I have been hunting many years for the family's heritage in this area so that I could find the church and farm where I visited as a child. John H. and Jennie McClintock in this photo are my great grandparents. James McClintock whom we called Bud is my grandfathers brother. Ora and Ruth McClilntock are my grandparents, we also were able to view their headstones in your collection of pics. Thank You for taking these pictures and posting them on-line, now I can take a trip back to MO. and find my relitives.
As a very young girl I visited this outlook with my grandmother Frances Todd Patterson Ramsey. My ancestors Todd's are buried in this cemetery, but much further back over this hill top.
