| | | | Creator: | East Cleveland Township Cemetery | | | | Dates: | 1890-1929 | | | | Abstract: | The East Cleveland Township Cemetery (f. 1859) consists of 12 acres of land at 1621 East 118 Street just north of Euclid Avenue. The area of East Cleveland Township that includes the cemetery was annexed by the City of Cleveland in 1892. More recently the cemetery has been involved in litigation due to boundary disputes and the issue of responsibility for support of cemetery operations. According to the website for the East Cleveland Township Cemetery Foundation, "In the summer of 2003, Cuyahoga Common Pleas Judge Nancy A. Fuerst brokered a settlement between the Cities of Cleveland, Cleveland Heights and East Cleveland which led to the formation of East Cleveland Township Cemetery Foundation, headed by Bill Garrison who is also President of Lake View Cemetery. The settlement divides responsibility for maintaining the Cemetery among the three cities. The Foundation is charged with making reasonable efforts to secure $1 million in grants, public donations and other support within five years from date of agreement." The researcher should note that this cemetery was commonly known as "East Cleveland Cemetery." According to local historian Nancy Fogel West, another cemetery was also commonly known as "East Cleveland Cemetery." This second cemetery was founded in 1823 in East Cleveland, Ohio, and has been referred to as "Publick Burying Ground," "Doan's Corners Cemetery," "the little cemetery on Euclid Avenue," and "the old East Cleveland cemetery." This cemetery closed in the early 1900s with burials being transferred to other cemeteries. Some of the burials from Doan's Corners Cemetery were transferred to East Cleveland Township Cemetery at the time of its closing. The collection consists of burial records and miscellaneous loose papers. | | | | Call #: | MS 5116 | | | | Extent: | 0.60 linear feet (2 containers) | | | | Subjects: | East Cleveland Township Cemetery (East Cleveland, Ohio) | Cemeteries -- Ohio -- East Cleveland. | Registers of births, etc. -- Ohio -- East Cleveland. | East Cleveland (Ohio) -- Genealogy. | United States -- History -- Civil War, 1861-1865 -- Veterans -- Genealogy.

| Manuscript Collection | Requires cookie* | | 2 | Title: | First Presbyterian Church of East Cleveland Records, Series II
| | | | Creator: | First Presbyterian Church of East Cleveland | | | | Dates: | 1849-2009 | | | | Abstract: | The First Presbyterian Church of East Cleveland, Ohio, was founded in 1807 and was not only the first church, but also the first institution of any kind established in what would become Cuyahoga County. It was originally called the Church of Christ in Euclid, and was comprised of both Presbyterian and Congregationalist settlers from the New England area. The first spiritual leader was Reverend William Wick. The first services were held in the homes of parishioners, and a permanent home for the church, known as the Log Church, was built in 1810. In 1811, the church formally entered the Hartford, Connecticut Presbytery and was then an officially recognized Presbyterian church. The collection consists of bulletins, meeting minutes, administrative papers, historical narratives, event programs, newsletters, newspaper clippings, and sermons. | | | | Call #: | MS 5202 | | | | Extent: | 4.01 linear feet (4 containers and 1 oversize folder) | | | | Subjects: | African Americans -- Ohio -- East Cleveland. | Church records and registers -- Ohio -- East Cleveland. | East Cleveland (Ohio) -- Genealogy. | First Presbyterian Church (East Cleveland, Ohio) | Presbyterian Church -- Ohio -- East Cleveland. | Windermere Presbyterian Church (East Cleveland, Ohio) | Women in church work -- Ohio -- East Cleveland
