Many other books focusing on one cemetery exist.  Some of these records are in book form while other information on the cemeteries may be found in our lateral files.  In addition, we have started several township notebooks including cemetery information gathered by the members of the Wayne County Cemetery Preservation Society but not organized in book form, yet.

On the rare occasion, researchers find journals compiled by grave diggers.  These records include the name of the deceased, age, death date, and place of burial.  Several years ago, our department was given a copy of one such journal.  Sherry O’Dell, Genealogy Assistant at the time, abstracted and indexed the information.  The book is called, Burial Records from January 1943 through June 1967.  It was completed in October 2000.  The index is by surname.  Information includes the name of the deceased, the year of burial, the place of burial, which cemetery (when known), and the page in the journal.  Most of the burials occurred in the Burbank-Lodi vicinity.  The information was verified by using several resources including ''Ashland County, Ohio Cemeteries''; county directories; 1920 Wayne County, Ohio Census; ''Tombstone Inscriptions from the Cemeteries in Medina County, Ohio''; ''Wayne County, Ohio Burial Records''; and the ''Wooster Daily Record'' newspaper.
