AND CITY BURIAL PLAT
LANCASTER, OHIO
BY EDWARD C MILLS, D.D.S. OF COLUMBUS OHIO
-- Transcribed by Genealogy Trails --
The old Methodist Cemetery was given the city of Lancaster for burial, church and school purposes by Ebenezer Zane
in the year 1802. Congress granted him three plats of land--one at Zanesville, one at Lancaster and one at
Maysville, KY--for his services in "blazing" a road from Wheeling WV, through Ohio, to Maysville KY,
in 1797.
Through some elasticity of the deed, the city council have been enabled to erect two city buildings in this burying
ground, many graves being destroyed to make room for th same.
The strip immediately east of the church, its width corresponding with that of the church building, is the old
M.E. Church cemetery proper; that lying north of the church and its cemetery, extending to Chestnut, and from High
Street to Pearl avenue, is the old city burial plat. Originally the entire cemetery covered about 1 1/2 acres.
Many of the forefathers on the city slumber here, and their graves like memories, have almost sunk into oblivion.
