Saint

Sheikh Abdullah (Ulubey)

A colonizing dervish-sheikh active in the early 15th-century conquest and settlement of the Ordu region who, alongside the frontier-warrior Sevdeş Bey, founded a lodge and Friday mosque around Ulubey and led the Türkmen transition to settled life. The 1455 cadastral survey records the 'endowment of Şeyh Abdullah's lodge'; Şeyhler village is named after his sheikh sons. The present tomb is a renewed structure within the old cemetery.

Scholar

Doğanlı Hasan Efendi

An Ottoman-era madrasa teacher regarded as a saint in the Perşembe (Vona) area. His plain tomb in the Doğanlı (today Doğan Mahallesi) cemetery bears an Ottoman-Turkish inscription whose text and death date are unpublished; information on his life is limited. As documentation rests largely on a single official record, the entry is transparently flagged as resting on local veneration.
