Woodland Cemetery Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, Ohio 2367 E 65th Street Cleveland OH 44104 (216) 348-7217 (Entrances on Quincy and Woodland Ave) Woodland's creation derived from a failed real estate speculation. In 1832, Col. George Bomford of Washington, DC, acquired 200 acres in Newburgh Township. He sold 100 acres to John Whipple, Providence, RI, and 60 acres to Benjamin F. Butler, Pres. Andrew Jackson's attorney general. The trio divided the land in 40 5-acre lots just before the Panic of 1837. By 1851 the land remained unsold. Samuel Starkweather, the local agent, sold Butler's share for the long sought second city cemetery. Woodland Cemetery was designed in rural cemetery style by New York landscape gardener Howard Daniels. The name was inspired by a fanciful poetic description of an unseen Cleveland by Scottish poet Thomas Campbell. Former Ohioan Daniels provided a 20-acre plan, "as beautifully prepared for a burial place as fancy and taste could desire." Dedicated on 14 June 1853. ===================================================================================================================================================== Last First Middle Suffx Birth Death Branch Rank War Cemetery Name City State Sect Row Site Interment Name Name Name Date Date Date ===================================================================================================================================================== Bartholomew Harley 02/22/1884 Woodland Cemetery Cleveland Oh 10 60 29 02/22/1884 Boyden Henry T 11/25/1884 Woodland Cemetery Cleveland Oh 10 60 30 11/25/1884 Draeger Fred 06/01/1883 Woodland Cemetery Cleveland Oh 10 60 26 06/01/1883 Ellwood John 01/30/1863 Woodland Cemetery Cleveland Oh 14 48 2 01/30/1863 Files Charles E 01/23/1865 Woodland Cemetery Cleveland Oh 10 60 22 01/23/1865 Forchner John 10/13/1864 Woodland Cemetery Cleveland Oh 14 48 9 10/13/1864 Hahn Christian 02/08/1867 Woodland Cemetery Cleveland Oh 14 48 12 02/08/1867 Hoag George E 05/29/1864 Woodland Cemetery Cleveland Oh 14 48 7 05/29/1864 Hutchinson George 02/21/1869 Woodland Cemetery Cleveland Oh 14 48 15 02/21/1869 Kelley Charles 08/24/1867 Woodland Cemetery Cleveland Oh 14 48 14 08/24/1867 McCollom John 02/05/1863 Woodland Cemetery Cleveland Oh 14 48 4 02/05/1863 Naunmian Christ 12/06/1884 Woodland Cemetery Cleveland Oh 10 60 32 12/06/1884 Parker Christian 01/25/1863 Woodland Cemetery Cleveland Oh 14 48 1 01/25/1863 Preston William J 12/06/1869 Woodland Cemetery Cleveland Oh 14 48 16 12/06/1869 Simons George W 07/24/1864 Woodland Cemetery Cleveland Oh 14 48 8 07/24/1864 Unknown Soldier 09/22/1865 Woodland Cemetery Cleveland Oh 14 48 13 09/22/1865 Vorschild John 08/19/1863 Woodland Cemetery Cleveland Oh 14 48 6 08/19/1863 Worley William 02/04/1863 Woodland Cemetery Cleveland Oh 14 48 3 02/04/1863 Zimmerman Charles 05/03/1869 Woodland Cemetery Cleveland Oh 10 60 24 05/03/1869
