Pioneers of Warrensville Western Cemetery, Mansmann and Shakespeare.

"KDSP" is located in a small business district at No.3451,Warrensville West Cemetery, to remind people of individuals and communities who lived in the area before the development of Shackle Heights. Tombstones and marks on the small cemetery show a strange landscape that has lost time. It is the home of brave pioneers' families and their descendants, immigrants and settlers, and also the cradle of the Northern Alliance. These landmark buildings were listed as landmarks on August 24th, 1976, which is one of the oldest designated landmarks in Shaq Heights and provides a suitable memorial place for the earliest residents of Warrensville. The history of the cemetery can be traced back to the first settlers and namers in Warrensville. Daniel and Margaret Prentiss warren couple immigrated to the Western Reserve with their youngest son from Acworth, New Hampshire, on 1808. Daniel works in a court in Jefferson, Ohio. He is a brickmaker, so he has the right to use a piece of land worth 300 dollars. The Warren family built a log cabin in 1809 and reclaimed land in the dense forest to grow crops. Later, the Warren family began to support their families in a rugged environment, and soon relatives joined in, eventually named the town of Warren sville. 18 1 1 year, the couple's two-year-old daughter Lovisa passed away. She was buried on the ridge near their property. 18 12. When this land was bought by Astiles, it was transferred to the town for use as a cemetery. The Warren family and other early settlers in Warrensville will continue to use this cemetery. Similar to the community cemeteries formed in other uninhabitable areas of Cuhoga County, the cemeteries are small and simple. Because roads and trails are not suitable for traveling most of the year, there is no church nearby, and living conditions often encourage people to use them frequently. The centralized cemetery soon became the storage room for the pioneers and their descendants in this town.

As Warrensville attracted new residents, the cemetery began to reflect the changes in the surrounding community. 1826 Three families who recently immigrated from the Isle of Man came to Cleveland. Within a year, more than 200 Isle of Man residents settled in Newburg and Warrensville. As the news spread that Warrensville was a suitable place for farming, the town soon became the center of the Isle of Man population in this area. Many pioneers in the settlement of the Isle of Man in Warrensville often buy a lot of land in simple cemeteries, which are characterized by piety, hard work and clan. Due to the increase of immigrant population, the change of cemetery public taste and the improvement of traffic routes in and out of towns, the population structure in cemeteries has changed. By the beginning of the 20th century, half the population of the cemetery was Manxman.

At the beginning of the 20th century, the community cemetery became a gathering place for new immigrants from Warrensville. Shaq Gaudi bought a 40-foot plot of land from the Northern Union Shaq Cemetery to rebuild the body. Van Sweringen Company is located on the land to be developed as a residential area, and obtained the permission of Shaker Association in Union Village, Ohio to move the bodies of members of community association 138 to Warrensville Western Cemetery. Found the remains of 89 bottles and cans, put them in coffins and buried them in the same grave. It was not until 1949 that the Shakespeare Historical Society placed a granite boulder from the old Shakespeare farm above the tomb that this place was marked.

Although cemetery markers reflect the history of Marxman and Shakespeare, the founders of Warrensville, they also provide clues to the lives of the burials. Many children and babies buried in the cemetery remind us that the earliest residents of Warrensville endured hard living conditions. Carved tombstones bear veterans of five wars. Among these veterans, four served in the American Revolution, two in the 18 12 War, one in the US-Mexico War, fourteen in the Civil War and one in World War II. Family relationship, birthplace and occupation are also the contents of commemoration. Although most of the marks have been weathered to an unqualified level, the tomb of Mary Broden, who died in 1843, even gave advice to tourists in the cemetery:

"My friends, when you passed me, just like you do now, it used to be me. It's me now. It has to be like this. Prepare to die. Come with me.
