Last summer, a member of this list asked for someone to take pictures at Canaan Township Big Darby Cemetary. I visited the cemetary and took pictures of the monument and nearby Wilson graves. The cemetary is located at 6921 Plain city-Georgesville Road (just outside Columbus, Ohio). I wrote the following Wilson names as found at this cemetary. I have actual disk photos of these graves. If you are interested, I will be happy to send the actual pictures to your personal e-mail account as an attachment.

I'm hoping this helps someone somewhere.

The Wilson Monument is directly behind the church and is quite impressive. It is the largest monument in the cemetery. These Wilsons must have been very prominent members of the community.

The cemetery is very small with mostly very old graves. There are a few new graves. The rear portion of the cemetery abuts a farm with very beautiful evergreens. We saw two llamas grazing!

The Monument is marble and is very old. Some of the names are difficult to read. The pictures show that. My husband read the information to me and I copied. The following is a list of the names and dates on the Wilson Monument:
