In a special report chock full of specifics presented by Thomas Jewell for Cleveland.com, we learn about long overdue but now exceedingly encouraging news for the Warrensville West Cemetery that has 168 memorials listed for it on the website "Find A Grave."
The Warrensville West Cemetery in Shaker Heights, Cuyahoga County, Ohio is small but looms large in the county with its early history of being the second oldest burial ground in Cuyahoga County.
Per its description quoting from Find A Grave.:
The Warrensville West Cemetery "was established in 1811 and contains the Manx Settlers (often called Old Manx Cemetery), and the common grave of the North Union Shakers that were moved here from the Shaker Burial ground in 1905."
