"New Green Lawn Monument Commemorates Early Columbus Settlers" - Story from the "Columbus Dispatch" - October 13, 2020

Sharing a link to a story in the "Columbus Dispatch", October 13, 2020 by Fred Squillante about a wolf statue that is newly erected to commemorate the re-interments from Columbus' North Cemetery that had closed in the 1880s to Section R at Green Lawn Cemetery.  

*******

"When the city's North Cemetery was closed in the 1880s, most of the interments were moved to Green Lawn. The county bought several lots in Section R of the cemetery for these re-burials. But there has never been a dedicated monument to them. One will finally be dedicated. It is a statue of a wolf because our early settlers called the east bank of the Scioto, Wolf's Ridge."
