The Washington Street Cemetery, Painesville


The following article by Frances Slack appeared in The Ohio Genealogical Society Report Vol. 30, issue 3, (1990). Retyped by Cynthia Turk and used with permission.

The following list of burials was taken from an 1878 map of the Old Washington Street Cemetery, then located on a site east of the present Harvey High School. The last burial was in 1869, although by 1861 some graves had been removed to the new Evergreen Cemetery. The remaining stones were buried in 1878 and the cemetery site vacated in 1898. The original list compiled by the DAR is at the Morley Library, Painesville. Corrections and additional notes have been made from the 1878 map, the incomplete Sexton's Records (SR), and other information found at the Lake County Historical Society. Compiled by Frances N. Slack and submitted by the Lake County Chapter, OGS.
