It can be an added advantage to read about a cemetery before visiting it; to learn its history and relationship to the area where it is situated. Notable people buried there and their life stories are always fascianting to read about so when you visit their gravesites you feel like you already know something about them. So it is with this thought in mind, I would like to offer here information about a book newly published solely dealing with memorializing those buried at the Gilboa Cemetery located in Paint Township in Highland County, Ohio complete with tombstone photos and in some cases, photos of the people themselves.

[b]Marianna Kerns Morgan of Chillicothe, Ohio has published a new book entitled:
[b]"GILBOA CEMETERY - A Story of the Lives, the Accomplishments, the Final Resting Place of Many of the Early Settlers of Paint Twp., Highland Co., Ohio, and Descendants"

Marianna Morgan's new "Gilboa Cemetery" book's title is befitting of the detailed descriptions and photographs found on every page of this one-of-a-kind publication containing 336 pages with twelve-page full name index.

I can personally say that in all my years of reading cemetery inscriptions publications and viewing internet sites offering burial information, the format and in-depth biographies offered in Marianna's "Gilboa Cemetery" book surpasses any I've ever seen.

Congratulations Marianna, on "Gilboa Cemetery"! ************
Obviously, a phenomenal publication, "Gilboa Cemetery" will serve as a premier resource for anyone researching the lives of those who rest in peace at this special burial ground.

Marianna is offering her book for sale. Below is the brochure for her Gilboa Cemetery Book
