Wickliffe Cemetery
WICKLIFFE CEMETERY
The Wickliffe Cemetery, established circa 1808, is located on one acre
of land just north of 28855 Euclid Avenue, behind the Provo House. Wickliffe
Cemetery is the final resting place of Wickliffe’s early settlers,
Civil War soldiers and notable residents.
The cemetery consists of 184 know graves. Headstones are engraved with
the names of Wickliffe’s first-known settlers, William and Clarissa
Clarke Jones, and the family of Colonel Abner C. Tarbell. Grave sites
of Civil War veterans can be found on the north slope. Other notable
family names include Arnold, Fuller, Grave, Lloyd, Taylor, Hardaker,
King, Strong and Rush.
Following the Memorial Day service at Wickliffe City Hall, the Brewer-Tarasco
American Legion Post #7 honors the many veterans buried in the cemetery.
Post members gather for the traditional playing of “Taps”
and a 21-gun salute. As you visit the cemetery, you will find a wealth
of Wickliffe history and memories.
