We were surprised when we arrived at Powell Cemetery. For some reason we expected an old but active community cemetery with all that implies. Instead we found an old cemetery that seems to have stopped receiving interments except in rare instances (we did see one grave from 1994). There is no fence, no sign, no real entrance--nothing except a seeming well cared for acre or so of gravestones.

The cemetery is located on the east side of Liberty Road about a block north of County 750 (Powell Road changes to Olentangy Street in the town of Powell and Liberty Road is the divide between East Olentangy and West Olentangy). See map (Franklin County, Ohio Road Atlas & Street Locator). GPS coordinates: Latitude (DEC) 40.1592292, Longitude (DEC) -83.0746312; Latitude (DMS) 400933N, Longitude (DMS) 0830429W.
