Trumbull County Genealogical Society
Old Pioneer Cemetery
It is believed that this cemetery is the oldest designated cemetery in the Western Reserve. Henry Lane Jr. donated this land for the sole purpose of a public burial ground.
Sarah Fitch Adgates’s headstone, with a date of Sep. 9, 1804, makes it the oldest existing stone in the cemetery.
Mrs. Eunice Woodrow, wife of William S. Woodrow, who died on Mar. 21, 1897, was the last to be buried here.
Members of the Trumbull County Genealogical Society have dedicated themselves to preserving the Old Mahoning (Pioneer) Cemetery, located behind the Akron Children's Hospital, at 661 Mahoning Ave., Warren, OH. General clean-up days are held regularly and with the help of Boy Scout Troops the split rail fence, and entrance walkway have been replaced and a new sign erected. Old stones have been up-righted and new stones were put in for seven of the War of 1812 veterans.
