When I called the Union Cemetery office in Steubenville today, they told me that their burials started about 1854. Does anyone know where earlier burials in the City of Steubenville were done, in particular in 1832? Thanks, Tom Cooper Cleveland Hts., OH

I believe that Union Cemetery opened in 1854. It was created as a place to move the existing downtown cemeteries which were running out of room and in the way of development. Hence the name, Union Cemetery. There are sections of Union Cemetery that hold a particular church's existing burials. Some of the difficulty in finding burials for folks that died in Steubenville before 1854 is that periodic floods in portions of downtown had already washed away existing markers.
