Click on title to read the "Cleveland.com" story that is published online and in the Cleveland "Plain Dealer" today about the Westview Cemetery known also by alternate names:  Hoadley Cemetery, or Old Baker Cemetery.  

The well-written news report with historical background about the Hoadley family buried at Westview Cemetery is from "Plain Dealer" writer, Michael O'Malley.  

Extending my personal thank you to Mr. O'Malley for covering this news about something that happens too rarely these days, but news that is always most welcome indeed - particularly to those of us who care about cemetery preservation.

The details of this story are remarkable and point to a happy ending for the betterment of this small rural cemetery.
