Headstone gallery
Photographs of Malott gravestones, mostly from Mt. Orab Cemetery in Green Township, Brown County, Ohio — the same township the family is recorded in throughout this site, and the namesake of the local Brooks–Malott Road. Each stone is transcribed as carved, then checked against every person in the tree by name and by birth and death year.

Confirmed matches
These stones carry a name, birth year, and death year that line up exactly with someone already on this site.
D. C. Malott — 126th Ohio Inf.
“D. C. MALOTT / 126 OHIO INF.” (three photos of the same marker: delos_stone1.jpg, delos_stone2.jpg, delos_stone3.jpg)
Matches Delos C. Malott (1824–1889). A military marker for his Union Army service, not previously recorded on the site.
George D. & Mildred C. Malott
“MALOTT / GEORGE D. 1899–1985 / MILDRED C. 1910–1986”
Matches George Dewey Malott (1899–1985) exactly. Also names his wife, Mildred “Milly” Adams Malott (1910–1986). Her dates are hard to read in the photo; 1910–1986 is confirmed by family.
Hiram Malott
“HIRAM MALOTT BORN JULY 25 1814 DIED JAN 27 1897 / MARY MALOTT BORN JUNE 27 1826 DIED JULY 10 1916 / MATILDA SMITH MARRIED TO HIRAM MALOTT JUNE 27 1838. DIED JUNE 12 1844.”
Matches Hiram Malott, already recorded with Matilda Smith as his wife but with no dates for either of them. This stone shows Matilda died young in 1844, and that Hiram later had a second wife, Mary (1826–1916), not yet in the tree.
Theodore “Dory” Malott
“THEODORE DORY MALOTT / FIFER MD MILITIA / REVOLUTIONARY WAR / NOV 17 1755 – MARCH 10 1845” (theodore1.jpg, a later memorial marker) and “THEODORE MALOTT / DIED MARCH 10 1845 / AGED 89 YEARS & ... 3 DAYS” (theodore2.jpg, the original 1845 stone)
Matches Theodore “Dory” Malott (b. 1755) exactly, and adds his exact birth and death dates and his Revolutionary War service as a fifer in the Maryland militia — none of which was in the tree before.
William S. Malott
“MALOTT / LOU ANNA 1863–1904 MOTHER / WILLIAM S. 1861–19… FATHER” (death year cropped out of frame)
Matches William Samuel Malott (1861–1942). His wife is recorded on this site as Lou Ann Stratton, born 1869 — this stone gives her name as “Lou Anna” and her birth year as 1863. Worth a correction if you can confirm it.
Likely relatives, not yet in the tree
These aren’t exact matches to anyone recorded here, but the names, dates, and family pattern make a strong circumstantial case.
Theodore “Dode” Malott
“MALOTT / ALICE 1880–1954 / THEADORE ‘DODE’ 1871–1954”
No one born 1871 is in the tree. His birth year fits neatly as another child of Delos C. Malott and Margeret Waits, alongside their son William Samuel (b. 1861) — a likely sibling, not yet added.
Frank Malott
“FRANK MALOTT 1861–1938”
Shares William Samuel Malott’s exact birth year, 1861. Possibly a twin brother, or another son of Delos and Margeret born the same year — worth checking against a census record.
Prather Malott
“MALOTT / PRATHER 1875–1937 / DELLA 1890–1941”
Not the same Prather Malott already in the tree (born 1790, Delos’s father) — this one was born 85 years later. Families in this line reused ancestors’ names often (Theodore, Prather), so this is plausibly another son of Delos, named for his grandfather.
Infant son of P. & S. Malott
“[name illegible], Son of P. & S. MALOTT, DIED APR 10 1843, AE. 27 D[ays].”
Delos C. Malott’s parents are recorded on this site as Prather Malott and Sarah Reeves — matching “P. & S. Malott” exactly. This would be an infant sibling of Delos who lived only 27 days in 1843 and isn’t currently in the tree.
Not yet identified
Clearly Malott family stones, but no one in the tree matches on name and year. Some may belong to relatives simply not yet researched; others may need a closer look at the photo to read a worn date correctly.
Aaron & Mary C. Malott
“MALOTT / AARON 1858–1930 / MARY C. HIS WIFE 1862–1950”
No match in the tree.
Cora M. & Thomas J. Adams
“ADAMS / CORA M. 1889–1955 / THOMAS J. 1886–1954”
Not a Malott surname — possibly a Malott daughter who married into the Adams family, but no Cora appears in the tree.
Myrtle L. & Alcana Malott
“MALOTT / MYRTLE L. 1889–1971 / ALCANA 1890–1966”
No match in the tree.
Benjamin & Laura Malott
“BENJAMIN 1846–18… / LAURA HIS WIFE 1849–1905” (moss obscures Benjamin’s death year)
Two people named Benjamin Malott are in the tree, but both belong to a generation a century too early (born in the 1700s). No match.
“Malott” family monument
“MALOTT” — no individual name or date carved.
A plot marker rather than an individual headstone — possibly the family monument for one of the plots pictured elsewhere in this gallery.
Caroline Malott
“CAROLINE MALOTT 1856–1938”
No match in the tree.
Chilton W. Malott
“CHILTON W. MALOTT 1868–1951”
No match in the tree.
Clarence E. Malott
“CLARENCE E. MALOTT 1889–1891”
A child who died at about two years old. No match in the tree.
Dent & Belle Malott
“MALOTT / DENT MALOTT 1859–1918 / BELLE HIS WIFE 1868–1906”
No match in the tree.
Infant, Malott, 1905–1906
“… MALOTT / 1905–1906” (given name covered by a floral decoration in the photo)
No Malott in the tree is recorded born 1900–1910. No match.
Erastus & Ruth A. Malott, and children
“MALOTT / ERASTUS MALOTT 1854–1904 / RUTH A. MALOTT 1861–1928 / LUCY MALOTT 1896–1910 / SELMA MALOTT 1904–1905 / HERBERT MALOTT 1902–1907”
A family that lost three children young. No one in this group is in the tree.
Leroy Joseph & Mary Wanda Malott
“MALOTT / LEROY JOSEPH JUNE 14 1931 – OCT 20 1998 / MARY WANDA JAN 23 1931 – FEB 16 1993 / MARRIED JUNE 16 1949”
No match in the tree. See also Linda Sue, below — their daughter.
Linda Sue Malott
“LINDA SUE, DAU. OF LEROY + WANDA MALOTT / 1950”
Daughter of Leroy Joseph and Mary Wanda Malott, above. No match in the tree.
Rosella Malott
“ROSELLA MALOTT 1939–1941”
A child who died at about two years old. No match in the tree.
Joseph S. Malott
“JOSEPH S. MALOTT 1870–1947”
Several Josephs are recorded in the tree, but none born 1870; one Joseph Malott has no birth year on file at all, so this may be him. No confirmed match.
Harry C. & Catherine Cora Malott
“MALOTT / ‘KATE’ CATHERINE CORA MAR 25 1929 – AUG 27 1994 / ‘BUD’ HONORABLE HARRY C. JUNE 11 1917 – JAN 28 1996”
No match in the tree.
Martha J. Hill
“MARTHA J. HILL / DAU. OF … / … 1896” (parents’ names too worn to read)
A Hill, not a Malott by name — her connection to the family, if any, isn’t clear from the stone.
“Our Six Children”
“OUR SIX CHILDREN” — no names given.
A shared marker for six children who died young, family not named on the stone itself. Possibly connected to Erastus & Ruth Malott's plot above, who lost three children on record, but this can't be confirmed from the photo.
Cemetery and location photos
Not headstones, but useful markers of place.
Mt. Orab Cemetery gate
The entrance sign for Mt. Orab Cemetery, where most of these stones were photographed.
Brooks–Malott Road
A road sign in Green Township, Brown County, Ohio — the same township recorded as Delos C. Malott’s birthplace.
The Old Outhouse…
Visitors to the Mt Orab Cemetery may recall the old Outhouse..... it was there for many years!
