Limerick, Ohio

In the scenic hollows of southwestern Jackson Township lies the historic little town of

Limerick. The drive to Limerick on Limerick Road (from Route 35) is a beautiful, and

somewhat exciting drive. Two narrow lanes curve around hills and cliffs on one side, while

overlooking meadows, pastures, thickets and creeks on the other. Homes are mostly scattered

with small clusters here and there. Some of these residents are descendants of the early settlers

who discovered this beautiful area. On a sunny day with blue skies, the drive to Limerick is a

memorable experience.

While we could not find an exact date as to when the town was founded, the oldest

tombstone that we were able to read in Limerick Cemetery dates back to 1817 to that of Thomas

Vansky (whom we believe is a variation in spelling of the name Vanscoy), who died when he

was 13 years old.

In 1820 census takers recorded only 54 families for all of Jackson Township. Some of

these early surnames are seen in the Limerick Cemetery – Clark, Heartley (Hartley), Martin and

Vanscoy. A decade later only 57 families were recorded, and in 1840 only 65 families were

recorded. In this day of overpopulation and crowded suburbs, the area remains rural.

The Reorganized Church of Christ of Latter Day Saints has been active in Limerick since

1880, some of the early members buried in Limerick Cemetery.

The grocery store, owned by the late Harkless Witten and now managed by daughter

Charlene and her mother Nettie, is the heart of Limerick. Neighbors and friends meet to buy

gasoline and groceries, while seating on the front patio offers a place for visitors to sit and

socialize for a while.

We first visited Limerick nearly eight years ago to visit and decorate the grave of little

2-year old Beulah Ann Longfellow who died of childhood diseases in 1928. She was the

daughter of Sarah Murphy of Richmond Dale and William Franklin Longfellow of Columbus.

We could not find her grave, but fell in love with the rolling hills and quiet hollows. Believing

we had somehow missed Beulah Ann’s tombstone we contacted the local trustees who told us

there were no records of the old graves. We returned several more times over the years, enjoying

the area, but not finding the grave.

Relentless we returned once again in 2005 and walked every inch of the cemetery

discovering that quite a few of the stones were badly weathered and some could not be read at

all. We decided to preserve the information on the tombstones by photographing them. We

returned several times in 2006 to edit and take additional photographs. Some of these badly

weathered stones can be read in the shade, others in the sun, and some could be read when we

pulled up the photograph on the computer and enlarged and enhanced it.

This publication is meant, not only to preserve the tombstones’ data and appearance, but

as a guide for others searching for the gravesites of loved ones and ancestors. Some of the rows

are irregular, so we call one row 9.5, between rows 9 and 10, with row one the row nearest to the

road.

Although we may never know where in Limerick little Beulah Ann lies, we hope this

work will enable families in the future to find an ancestor’s grave even if the tombstone is

unreadable. And don’t be surprised if you see us nearby – we will visit frequently, enjoying the

peace and the beauty of the area. We consider Limerick to be Ohio’s best-kept secret!

Grocery store owner, the late Harkless Witten, in addition to being instrumental in the building of the

Poplar Road Community Church, gave two interviews in the 1990's to the local newspaper about

Limerick's history. Below is one of the interviews contributed by daughter Charlene.
