Erie Street Cemetery is Cleveland�s oldest existing cemetery. Today downtown Cleveland towers over this peaceful plot of land; which has remained essentially unchanged since it was opened as a burial ground in 1826 at the far edge of the town; whose population was only about 800 at the time. Within the cemetery are the graves of soldiers who served in the Indian Wars; the Revolutionary War; the War of 1812; the Civil War; the Mexican War; and the Spanish-American War; and it is the last resting place of many of the city�s early leaders and pioneer families.

Review
4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. West Side StoryBy Marcy C.This book is a treasure! I grew up in Garfield Park and attended Delano Grammar School. It was a delight to see pictures of my old haunts such as. the Marbro and Paradise Theatres. Legler Library. Madison Street. Garfield Park Lagoon. Garfield Park Conservatory.Delano School and the Graemere Hotel. I have clear memories of all these places and the pictures and the narrative in this book pinpointed the life that we led in that place and in that time. It is my good fortune that I grew up there and then and that I am lucky enough to still have so many dear friends that shared life with me in that space...in that time.Marcy C.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
