The Pioneer Cemetery, located at the intersection of Pioneer Trail and Mantua Center Road, Mantua OH 44355, is just that – a pioneer-period cemetery – and reflects the obscurity and lack of information from that time period.
The East Lawn Cemetery was established, according to Orrin Harmon’s Historical Manuscript of the Western Reserve (1798 to 1866), when “Melissa Reed, a girl of about 7 years of age, was the first who was buried there in 1816.” The East Lawn Cemetery is located at Historic Mantua Center.
Both cemeteries include graves of veterans from the Revolutionary War, War of 1812, and at East Lawn , Civil War veterans. Also included, many settlers who arrived to the Western Reserve and established Mantua Township Ohio.
