Cemetery notes and/or description: The Dublin Cemetery, located in Washington Township, was established in 1858 as the International Order of Odd Fellows (I.O.O.F.) Cemetery. It was known by that name until the city of Dublin took over the cemetery in the 1970s. Many of the remains, along with individual stones, were moved here from Indian Run Cemetery. Also, remains buried at Deardorf Cemetery, originally located southeast of Riverside Drive (US Route 33) and Dublin-Granville Road (State Route 161) in Perry Township, were moved to this cemetery. The cemetery is still an active cemetery. Ref: Natl No 87668, Vol. 88, p 203, D. A. R. Lin. Historic Huntington, p 17. Eagles Hist, Martins Hist,

Send a biographical sketch of your patriot!

Patriot biographies must be the original work of the author, and work submitted must not belong to another person or group, in observance with copyright law. Patriot biographies are to be written in complete sentences, follow the established rules of grammar, syntax and punctuation, be free of typographical errors, and follow a narrative format. The narrative should unfold in a logical manner (e.g. the narrative does not jump from time period to time period) or have repeated digressions, or tell the history of the patriot's line from the patriot ancestor to the author. The thinking here is that this is a patriot biography, not a lineage report or a kinship determination project or other report published in a genealogy journal. The biography should discuss the qualifying service (military, patriotic, civil) of the patriot ancestor, where the service was rendered, whether this was a specific state or Continental service, as well as significant events (as determined by the author) of the patriot's life. This is the entire purpose of a patriot's biography.
