Add PhotosThis Cemetery is abandoned. Its location was included in a soil conservation area by the WPA during the Great Depression. When the WPA started work on the soil conservation project, the existing stone grave markers were moved to Greenlawn Cemetery, Frankfort, Ohio, most of them to Section #7. There were no wooden markers moved. All of the burial remains were left in the ground. At the time, the cemetery sat next to a small stream named Herrod Creek. The whole course of the creek was rerouted by the WPA.
The last time the cemetery was inventoried was in 1927 by Ms. Clara Mark. It was inactive at that time and most of the wooden markers were either gone or unreadable. The grave inventory that Ms. Mark did in 1927 is on file at both the Ross County Historical Society and the Ross County Genealogical Society in Chillicothe, Ohio.
The cemetery is located in Concord Township, Ross County, Ohio, and is # 10389 (Shobe Cemetery / Mallow Cemetery) in "Ohio Cemeteries 1803-2003", compiled by the Ohio Genealogical Society.
