Alton M. E. Cemetery

Alton Methodist Episcopal Cemetery is a tiny little cemetery located in the small town of Alton, Ohio. It is just west of I-270 in Columbus on Broad St/US-40/National Road. The cemetery is behind a small church that used to house the Alton Methodist Episcopal congregation.

This cemetery is no longer active and was recently restored as a part of Project Flag, a cemetery restoration program in central Ohio. A few of the markers have been replaced and some restored. You can see numerous sunken spots throughout the grounds. The stones have pretty much been set up in a line and are most likely not on their original plots.

I took these shots at dusk, so they are a bit on the dark side. I enhanced the brightness on one or two to help bring out detail.

Hi Just wanted to say you're photo's are very nice. Enjoyed looking and naturally recognized many that of the same ones I've photographed. You need to connect up with Brent and I sometime when we're tromping. Didn't know you were at Greenlawn during the Civil War thing, we were there and so was Big Woo, would have been fun to have you join us. Take Care Sandy schcrochet
