Ferguson Cemetery
Also known as Forgerson Cemetery , Furgerson Cemetery , Furgeson Cemetery
Fremont, Sandusky County, Ohio, USA
It is is near the Sandusky River in the back of a farming field on the West side of County Road 176 (N. River Road) between County Road 245 and County Road 176. There is NO DIRECT access by vehicle without permission of the land owner, Vickie Rathfelder of N. River Road.
This was a private family cemetery that is now maintained by the Sandusky Township in Fremont.
Back in 1935 Ralph Voss, who lived at 2330 N River Road was out back rabbit hunting when he saw his North neighbor breaking off the headstone in this cemetery and throwing them over the bank. He reported it to the sheriff and the neighbor was made to go retrieve the headstone and replace them in the cemetery. There were approximately 50 graves there. But he only retrieved a few and took a shovel and dug holes and used a bit of concrete to replace them. The rest still remain in the river. The river was dredged quite a few times to deepen it for boats and not knowing the stones were in there, caused them to be lost. When the water is very low one or two footstones have been seen out in the river and there was talk a few times of a scuba diving team possibly trying to reloate them. One headstone was given to the Historical Society ( SEE: Elizabeth Williams). It has since been returned to the cemetery.
