Livingston Park Cemetery
Also known as Columbus City Cemetery , East Graveyard , Old East Graveyard , South Graveyard
Columbus, Franklin County, Ohio, USA
The South Graveyard was established in 1839. It was renamed the East Graveyard sometime in the 1860's. From 1849 until its closure, a portion of the cemetery was used for burial of the poor. In 1876, the Columbus City Council prohibited any further burials in the graveyard. In 1881, the council ordered the graveyard converted to a park originally named South Park and later, in 1884, changed to Livingston Park. Tombstones and bodies were removed in 1882, although many tombstones remained in the park until 1959 when they were dumped in Alum Creek. In 1876, another tract of land in Hamilton Township was purchased and was also called the South Graveyard.
An extensive history of the East and South Graveyards is given on pages 31 – 39 of The Columbus City Graveyards by Donald M. Schegel, Columbus History Service, © 1985.
The cemetery was located in the City of Columbus, Franklin County, Ohio, and is # 14558 (Livingston Park Cemetery / East Cemetery) in "Ohio Cemeteries 1803-2003", compiled by the Ohio Genealogical Society.
