Potter’s Field (Toledo)
Sunday morning after going to a ham festival (yes, in my personal life I am an amateur radio operator). Myself and some friends were driving back, and wanted to ride past the new E. L. Bowsher High School they are building. As we rode past it, there was a comment about an old cemetery behind the building site.
It was decided to stop and look around, and I took the chance to snap some pics. These pics are from my cellphone, so they are crappy.
Ron, (one of the people I was with) said he thought he had some older photograph’s of the cemetery from somewhere between the 70’s & the 90’s. If I can get my hands on those pictures, I plan to scan them and get them into the gallery.

Also, upon further research of the area, across the road (now University of Toledo property) sat an insane asylum and/or a TB hospital. There was also a cemetery there that has long since been moved. If that didn’t make this area cool, there is a small creek near there that was a spur off of the Erie canel, and was used to move stuff to the docks in Maumee, Ohio (or so I have been told). I look foward to researching and exploring this area in the future.
