Sharing some photographs courtesy of my friend, Rick, who often travels to the northeastern Ohio counties of Geauga, Lake, and Ashtabula.
Today, he stopped and took a few photographs at the North Cemetery in Rome Township, Ashtabula County.
"The North Cemetery, also known as the Laskey Rd. Cemetery, has history
back to 1837 when it was also known as St Peter’s Episcopal Cemetery.
The history, William Crowell organized the Episcopal Church and parish
in this neighborhood in 1837 on property which he owned on the northwest
corner of Laskey Rd. A board fence was immediately built in back of the
church, in front of the cemetery. Mr. Crowell and his wife are buried
there. The deed to that church property is now in the hands of the Rome
Presbyterian Church although the Cemetery continues to exist and is the
chosen place of burial for some of the residence who live in that area."
