Abandoned Cemetery: Unity Cemetery, Mason, OH

While I usually try to keep my Southern and Midwest blogs to places I have ties and/or have personally visited and photographed, this place drew me in. Union Cemetery is an amazing little forgotten resting place in Mason, Ohio... Unfortunately (but never uncommon), it is in an incredibly sad state of disrepair. It seems virtually no headstone is standing any longer and is so old I can't imagine there are too many ancestral visitors. The earliest graves are from about 1813 and the latest in the 1890's. Sadly it appears many of these fallen markers have been cast into concrete away from their owner (tho' the up side to that= preservation of sorts to the best of someones ability). Any info on this cemetery? Historical or preservation wise? I am all ears.

NOTE: These photos were forwarded and I need to give proper credit if the photographer is out there, let me know.
