Mount Union-Pleasant Valley Cemetery, better known as Elisabeth's Grave, is located on an unmarked road off Union Lane, not far from Egypt Pike, outside Chillicothe, Ohio (Union Township, Ross County). The coordinates are 39° 23' 25.1" N, 83° 3' 8.11" W. This Cemetery is practically destroyed. Broken Tombstones in every part of the Cemetery which clearly indicates it been vandalized and Several of the graves have initials spray painted on them. It's simply appalling and totally disheartening to see such destruction as you walk through the cemetery. More appalling is that it is allowed to go on by the community area. Some group in the area should take up the task of restoring this Cemetery and/or at least keeping the Cemetery from being vandalized over and over again. You can view the destruction here and here.
This is my attempt to gather information about graves that are there from various sources.
