Carpenter's Run Pioneer Cemetery

Pioneer cemeteries (roughly mid 1800's) are quite common in Ohio and especially in the vicinity of the Ohio river valley. Growing up, I always knew this particular cemetery as "Plainfield Cemetery" but now, many, many years later, Blue Ash is a well developed area with expensive homes, golf courses etc and things have been "cleaned up" a bit, shall we say. "Carpenter's Run Pioneer Cemetery" is one of the beneficiaries of that development. I stopped by recently and took some photos. Someone, or ones, took the time to try to piece together broken headstones, and in general, really make and keep the whole cemetery neat and orderly.
