Cemetery Care
The Ohio Township Trustee has the duty to maintain abandoned cemeteries in the township. Every effort is made to maintain a dignified appearance and ensure that the proper maintenance of the cemeteries is preserved.

The Township Trustee cares for cemeteries with the following conditions:
