Loveland Farm Cemetery long forgotten and unused.

Loveland Farm Cemetery is one of the few cemeteries of Mahoning County and Youngstown that has been long forgotten and remains unused. Not too much history is known about this cemetery.


Loveland Farm Cemetery was established on the Loveland Farm during the early latter half of the 19th century. Members of the Loveland family were buried in this cemetery. Earliest known recorded burial is Cynthia Loveland who was born in 1798 and died on September 16, 1815. She was 17 years of age at the time of her death. Her tombstone inscription reads “Cynthia Loveland   Born -1798  Died - September 16 1815 17 years” She was the daughter of Amos Loveland who served in the Revolutionary War 2nd Connecticut Regiment in 1780. (Ref: Mahoning County Deed Records Vol. 142, page 533)

According to a quit claim deed from the heirs of David Loveland and Ohio Genealogical Society Mahoning Chapter, disinterred bodies buried at Loveland Farm Cemetery were moved to Riverside Cemetery in Poland, Ohio on November 30, 1908. David Loveland purchases a burial plot in Riverside Cemetery in Poland, Ohio. Some parts of the tombstones from this cemetery were stored in a barn.
