Greenville - Brock, Ohio - Annie Oakley's Grave

The Garst Museum, located in Greenville, Ohio, is a tribute to two famous Greenvillites: sharp-shooter Annie Oakley, and broadcaster Lowell Thomas. A replica of Thomas' homestead stands behind the museum.

Ask for directions to Annie Oakley's (and husband Frank Butler's) graves [in Brock] and you will be given a Xerox hand-drawn map to guide you to the site (but be prepared for a lot of watching, it is hard to follow). Rumor has it that Annie isn't actually buried under her gravestone, but her cremains were placed in Frank Butler's coffin prior to his burial. A lot of speculation surrounds her real name (Phoebe Anne Mozee, or Mosey, or Moses), but her "gravestone" says Annie Oakley. We actually enjoyed the trip to the cemetery more than the museum itself.

Jeeperz....what's with writing that Annie Oakley is buried south of Greenville? She's buried in the Brock Cemetery, 0.5 miles south of Brock, Ohio. [Eddie James, 04/15/2001]
