​2. Private Cemeteries â€‹

​​​Several inactive Cemeteries are on private property.  We do not publish the specific locations of these out of respect for the private landowners. However, we do preserve these records for further generations. 

3. Obsolete Cemeteries
​

Obsolete Cemeteries are those which once existed but the remains, and in certain cases the gravestones, have been moved to other cemeteries. For example, when Calvary Cemetery was opened, St. Patrick's Cemetery and St. Peter and Paul Cemeteries were moved to Calvary. ​

Cemetery Names
Lucas County death records often show a colloquial name for a cemetery rather than the official name. For instance, Big Ditch Cemetery in the records is actually St. Ignatius Cemetery. lick for a list of colloquial cemetery names.
