It was the obituary for our ancestor William Pancake in 1867 that told us where he was buried. The first Methodist Church in Jefferson Township was built on this spot in Warsaw, Ohio. Our ancestors were among the founding members of the church. Soon, a graveyard was plotted and grew up around the church. By 1880 it held the remains of Jane Pancake Thompson, Emma Pancake, Pauline Pancake, Oliver Pancake, William Crawford Pancake Junior, his wife Maria Wilmott Gallagher, William Pancake Senior and his wife Mary Crawford. The church is gone but the graveyard remains. A stranger kindly took this photograph for us along with the grave stones for all of those previously mentioned.
