Welcome to Banks Cemetery

Carryall Township, Paulding County, Ohio


The Banks Cemetery is located along the eastern bank of the Maumee River. Upon entering the area, it is difficult to identify it as a cemetery. Assuming due to it's abandonment or vandalism, no actual stones are standing in this graveyard.

Surrounding the only monument, the remaining stones have been placed into a memorial. So as to the true number of people who rest here, we do not know.

As of our our visit of a chilly, below freezing November day, the grounds were completely covered in leaves. If you find any more memorials of stones other than those in the monument area, photos would be very much appreciated.

Guessing from the fact that the area may have a few possible muggles in the area during the summertime, bringing fishing equipment may be a useful cover.

The container is a regular-sized lock-n-lock, with ample room for tradeables and trackables.


Congrats to jtbrady01 for the First-To-Find"!!!
