The Gravesite of Louisa Jones Russell

The Erie Street Cemetery located in Cleveland, Ohio

Louisa Jones: Born abt 1809 in Canada. Died 20 Feb 1847 in child birth while William Greenwood Russell was out to sea. See the posting earlier in this blog for more information as to Louisa Jones

This is the second oldest cemetery in Cleveland and is located across the street from the Cleveland Indians baseball stadium. This video was taken June of 2008 by Jennifer Russell. I obtained the burial plot map of the cemetery and the grave site number and this video is accurate. Many of the grave markers are now gone or are unreadable.

Grave location: Erie Street Cemetery, Seciton 4, Lot 34, Tier 1, Grave 2. Buried 23 Feb 1847 according to the cemetery records. The cemetery is located at 2254 East 9th Street and is a part of the Highland Park Cemetery System. I have a letter from the cemetery which confirms this information and contains the map of each grave in the cemetery.
