This is the older of the two cemeteries on the Island. It's located at the corner of
Niagara Ave. & Catawba
Avenue and situated on the Northwest side of Island.
The most recent update to this page made on 4 Feb., 2007.
I wish to present the transcriptions of the ancestral loved ones buried at Crown Hill Cemetery. The readings start at the extreme south western corner of the cemetery which is the highest elevation and near the chain link fence which surrounds the cemetery. For a point of reference, this is the side nearest the main road going through the island, from the northern water front of Put-In-Bay, back south towards lime kiln docks. This cemetery is near the center of the island. The first two rows are transcribed in order, however the remainder are only samplings for this very old mid sized cemetery. On future visits, will attempt to add more readings to this report. Preliminary research indicates that John Brown Jr., son of the famous abolitionist was an early resident and although I haven't located his memorial yet, he is said to be buried here. I am solely responsible for the transcriptions and accompanying photo documentation. I am being deliberate and careful to read the stones carefully, however, many of the memorials have deteriorated, through time to a state rendering them difficult at best to be 100% correct. Please feel free to use these readings as a source for your research, but don't substitute this for good courthouse or state records. Although memorials contain good spellings and dates, they can sometimes contain errors. Robert M. Sizelove, Sr.© 01 May, 2003
