It is always exciting to discover a follow-up story updating the progress of preservation plans benefitting a historic Ohio cemetery, and this one is no exception!
This follows the announcement published June 15, 2021 to obtain cemetery grant funding for the Warrensville West Cemetery in Shaker Heights, Cuyahoga County, Ohio.
Details appear under the heading of "Cemetery Grant":
Excerpt:
"In what could serve as a model beyond the city, council authorized a $25,000 application to the Ohio History Connection’s Certified Local Government grant program in order to restore “urgent-priority gravestones” within Warrensville West Cemetery, nestled in the northwest corner of the Shaker Town Center."
