Historic Pioneer Memorial To Become Second City Cemetery
The Pioneer Memorial Cemetery on Gish Road north of East Sunset is transferring to city ownership in Rittman to standardize maintenance. The move places the site under city responsibility, with the Charles Gish family gifting adjacent land for expansion. The westward Rittman Cemetery remains the main municipal cemetery, and annual expenses total about 11 250 with 3 000 in lots sold last year. The cemetery advisory board voted to place 2 500 yearly interest from the perpetual care fund into the city general fund.
