Old Pioneer Cemetery
Section 1, 1st. Qtr., Range 14 St. Albans Township Licking County, Ohio Transcriptions & Photos , © 2002 by Robert M. Sizelove, Sr. ohiocempics@gmail.com
"I wish to present my transcriptions of the Pioneer Cemetery, earlier known as the Old Quarter and also Township Cemetery. It is located just north of the Maple Grove Cemetery. There is only a drive seperating
the older part, for which this report dwells upon. The old faced stone mausleum still exist, it was restored through community effort in the 1970's. Sorry to report much of the restoration has since been
vandalized and again is in need of repair. This cemetery is very old, the
earliest burial I found inscribed here being Feb. 1830, and that is consistant with date inscription on corner post of vault
"1830". This land first donated and dedicated as cemetery ground by the
Alexander Devilbliss family. Additional land was purchased to accomodate the needs of a growing community in 1861. This new area located south of this will be covered in a seperate report under the name Maple
Grove Cemetery. As always I have made every effort to correctly read the information inscribed, but due to the deteriated condition of many stones, make no guarantee of being 100% correct. I will be pleased
to forward all verified additions or corrections supplied to me. All data within brackets will be my knowledge, information, observations and /or research not inscribed. These findings are as of 17 September,

They are still readable, and I found no stone with the parents of these two children, so have no idea of where in the cemetery they belong, so I'm including them with the other stones in this row, by reason of their age, they most likely were originally buried in the Old Pioneer section. iii.
