Subject: Re: [OHMAHONI] Indexing of Oak Hill Cemetery Tombstones
Date: Fri, 19 Nov 1999 09:42:55 -0700
Hi!
It is my understanding that Oak Hill is the oldest cemetery in
Youngstown and that it started before 1870.
Am not sure that any records were kept at the very
beginning, and I don't know how good the early tombstones
were. I don't have any
more information on James yet, so I still have lots of digging
to do. Am just starting on him. I'm not sure he even made it
(to Toronto) to Ohio from England with some of his children.
When did Lake Park begin, do you know? What are you looking
for?
Thanks again!
Linda
