Erie Street Cemetery
Erie Street Cemetery was acquired in September 1825, by Leonard Case, Trustee and on the 29th day of March, 1826, Leonard and his wife, Elizabeth Case, conveyed the land by quit-claim to the village of Cleveland. This cemetery is right in front of Jacobs Field home of baseball Cleveland Indians.
On tombstone will tell you the story who was buried on it. And I think one of the beautiful under tree grave in this place. Unfortunately, as with most of urban cemeteries many of Erie Street's graves have succumbed to vandalism and elements.

Wow, that's a really beautiful tombstone!
Great photo! Happy Theme Day!
You have my vote for the best theme day photo I have seen so far.
Big and Sturdy is what I would say. It has survived so long! Since 1700s!!
Happy Theme Day!
Not a bad life, lucky lasting so long before succumbing to an epidemic. Nice photo.

Beautiful tombstone. It's quite surprising for me to read these words about who is burried here: in France, only birth and death dates are mentionned on the graves.
Fascinating story and a beautiful photograph.
Too bad about the vandalism, I have seen many urban cemeteries here with the same problem (especially Paris). But the grave is wonderful, and to be so legible for an old headstone is amazing.
This is a genealogist's dream, to find a headstone with so much valuable information.
A great history lesson and very personal. I find that the older tombstones are the most interesting, and this one illustrates that nicely!
une belle photo avec une athmosphere speciale, bravo
a beautiful photograph with a special athmosphere, cheer
This beautiful stone appears to be a secondary marker erected long after the 1849 burial date, perhaps put in place by descendants or a city historical society. By style, I'd guess it was made in the 1920s or 30s. I note two smaller markers that may be older. Cool choice for our theme day!

It is beautiful actually and, remarkably clear English for it's time.
What a beautiful and well-kept monument! I like all the information about his life.
What an old tombstone. I am always surprised to see OLD ones here,
Great photo!
Very nice and a great name for a cemetery.
The font on the tombstone is so beautiful, where has the art gone in grave markers!!!

Very nice picture.
I like also the name "Gamaliel Fenton".
It seems to be a elf name as in Lord of the rings.
Happy theme day !
beautiful tombstone, i like the old ones (especially with an history, like this one).
Thank you for sharing this beautiful tombstone beneath the tree and the information about the cemetery.
Fantastic photo, brings back memories of walking up Carnegie to Jacobs Field. Very nice shot! :)
