Here I am playing tourist in Ohio again! This time again in Belmont County, OH.
I (obviously - due to green grass, etc) visited this cemetery last July.
This sign about Harley Warrick is what caught my attention, since we (me, Mom, Sis1 & Sis2) had driven past several barns with the Mail Pouch ad painted on them.
"Belmont Walks"
I don't know if this was the "main" street thru this part of town, but it appeared to be the only one paved in bricks.
The placement for this sign was bad, since it looks to be pointing in someone's driveway! The road to the cemetery is just to the right of the shot.
Most of these stones are perfectly legible and a lot of have beautiful, personalized etchings.
The golf club & ball caught my attention!
At first, I thought the red flags were USMC, but they're actually for firefighters.
I love this that his name is carved on the page of the book (I assume her info will eventually be on the other page) and the white plaque at the bottom has the intertwined rings and wedding date.
From above...
His obituary is in FindAGrave - he held the world's altitude record for small planes and was killed while testing a Herrick-Vertaplane.

I got front & back of Harley Warrick's stone.

Sisters
I'm making some assumptions here -
Eliza is buried someone where else and Anna was their daughter?
I searched for "Schooley" in FindAGrave and Dr. Lindley was not listed!
But this stone matches all the others.
They are now in the database.
I love this dove!
This mismatched row of the Carter family is neat.
I obviously missed getting a close up of Eliza (the brown one)

These next 2 were hard to get pics of (see above) since there were right along the tree line, facing the trees....
I had to look his stone up in FindAGrave, he belonged to the
3rd US Colored Heavy Artillery.
I bet these 2 had some stories to tell!
All I can make out is "Sarah, wife of ???" and there's no headstone matching it in FindAGrave.

I should have looked at the other side of this - I'm not sure if this is a monogram or some sort of other symbol.

I wonder what the "Casual Co" was?
Google keeps giving me Company C of the 127th Infantry and talks about a book written by Capt Paul W. Schmidt called the Story of the 32nd Division.
I like the monogram on the side.
