Notes of Interest

• This park-like cemetery was designed by Almerin Hotchkiss (1816-1903) with input by Frederick Law Olmsted. Hotchkiss was also the designer of Bellefontaine Cemetery and served as Bellefontaine's superintendent for forty-six years until his death. He was succeeded by his son Frank.
