Lake County Infirmary Burying Ground (Extinct) The Lake County Infirmary Cemetery was located on Riverside Drive just north of the Infirmary, now called the County Home. The home was opened in 1852 on the former William Pettingell farm. From the Record of Paupers in Lake County Infirmary Commencing July 22, 1852, the first burial was that of Robert Gordon, aged 64 years, who died August 14th, 1852, “of Dystentary and Buried in the Infirmary Burying Ground.” The Record contains numerous entries for burials over the years. In March, 1877, the bodies interred in the county infirmary ground were removed to Evergreen Cemetery, where a lot had been purchased for the County. The Painesville Telegraph reported that the old ground, near the infirmary building, “had been used for burial purposes for seven years.” [Ed. Note] Apparently the “seven years” was a bit inaccurate. The following is abstracted from the transcription of Record of Paupers in Lake County Infirmary Commencing July 22, 1852, Henry C. Haford, Lenox, Ashtabula, Ohio. These were burials in the Infirmary burying ground. There were a few others who were buried in cemeteries. |
