Oak Hill Cemetery is a place of burial located in Youngstown, Ohio. It is a garden style cemetery (also known as a Rural cemetery) featuring memorials to multiple notable figures. The cemetery was formed after the Mahoning Valley Cemetery Association purchased the land in 1853[1] from Dr. Henry Manning, a local physician[2] who is himself buried within the cemetery. The cemetery was formally established in 1854. The cemetery began an endowment fund in 1922 that lead to it becoming one of the most endowed cemeteries, measured by dollar per acre, in the state of Ohio.[1] Many of the original cemeteries within the city, then still the Village of Youngstown, had their interments moved to Oak Hill Cemetery. Many of Youngstown's first settlers are buried here, including Daniel Sheehy[3] and Colonel James Hillman.[4][1]
