Honoring
David’s Cemetery on its Bicentennial.
WHEREAS,
The members of the House of Representatives of the 136th General
Assembly of Ohio are pleased to congratulate David’s Cemetery on
the auspicious occasion of its Two Hundredth Anniversary; and
WHEREAS,
Recognition of this prestigious milestone is a fitting tribute to
David’s Cemetery, for throughout the past two centuries, it has
attained a remarkable record of professionalism. The cemetery was
founded in 1826 when Christian Creager donated a parcel of land to
David’s Reformed Church to be used for a burial ground, separating
from the church in 1890 and later incorporating as a non-profit
corporation. Over the years, the cemetery has expanded several times,
now encompassing more than fifty-five acres, and it is co-owned by
all those buried there and others who have not yet exercised their
burial rights; and
WHEREAS,
The success of David’s Cemetery is a justifiable source of pride
and an outstanding reflection not only on the corporation itself but
also on its astute management and hard‑working employees.
Offering a variety of burial and cremation options as well as
support, comfort, and dignified ceremonies, this outstanding
establishment has helped countless people cope with one of the most
difficult parts of their lives, the death of a loved one; and
WHEREAS,
Time and again, David’s Cemetery has earned a well-deserved
reputation for compassion by providing assistance and concern to
individuals and families in their time of bereavement. This
noteworthy enterprise has maintained an unfaltering investment in the
community for two hundred years, and we are certain that it will
continue to uphold the tradition of excellence that has long been its
hallmark; therefore be it
RESOLVED,
That we, the members of the House of Representatives of the 136th
General Assembly of Ohio, in adopting this Resolution, commend
David’s Cemetery on its Two Hundredth Anniversary and salute it as
a fine Ohio endeavor; and be it further
RESOLVED,
That the Clerk of the House of Representatives transmit a duly
authenticated copy of this Resolution to David’s Cemetery.
