HISTORIC MOUND CEMETERY IN OHIO 
Mound Cemetery, Marietta, Ohio, takes its name 
from one of the prehistoric erections of the Mound 
Builders, of which there are a number of famous ex- 
amples in Ohio. The mound occupies the center of 
the cemetery which was laid out around this pre- 
historic earthwork by the early settlers, who founded 
the city under the leadership of General Rufus Put- 
nam, in 1777. It is 480 feet in circumference at the 
base, 45 feet high and 20 feet across the top. It is 
constructed of earth and gravel and is not believed 
to have been used as a burial place by the Mound 
Builders. Mound Cemetery was established in 1801. 
There are two other cemeteries in Marietta owned 
by the city and in charge of John N. Price, who has 
been superintendent for four years. 
Oak Grove was established in i860 on a fine tract 
of wooded land with a growth of many fine oaks, 
elm, maple, walnut, hickory, ash, poplar and gum.
