OUR SILENT CITIES.

A History OF tho Cemeteries In and
Around wheeling, which will be Of
Interest 10 Many Of Onr Renders.
For several days past an ISTELIioEScER
commissioner has been engaged at odd
times, in tracing the history Of the GENE.
teries in and around this city. This work
has been one OF great pleasure because We
have learned much Of the early history
Of Wheeling and Ohio county, in the
course OF our walks and talks with those
who are familiar with such history.
Ia some instances, the work has been
very easy, but in others 1t was unsatisfac.
tory and information was exceedingly
hard to procure. This latter, Of course,
applies to the older cemeteries, and those
that have NOT been in use for many years.
The results OF our investigations we
give below, and while they may not be
entirely accurate, still they are suostan-
TALLY correct and are authenticated oy
the testimony Of many OF the oldest citt'
zens In this city.
THE FIRST CEMETERY.
In the earliest history Of the town o.
Wheeling we 1nd that there was small
city cemetery, situate in North Wheeling,
upon the sites OF the residences OF George
K. Wheat, Jacob Snyder and the late
Vim. Shriver. This cemetery was in ex
istence up until probably 1918 or 1920,
may be not SO long as that, our authorities
4 ,Har in ravard tn the time: Isaac
Irwin, E.q, who was born in 1906, remem.
bers the graves, but not much more. It
is said this cemetery was removed to make
room for the Northwestern Bank, the
successor Of which is the National Bank oil
West Virginia. Of to-day.
Mr.. George X Wheat, in excavating for
foundation for his residence, some years
ago, unearthed large number Of bones,
relics OF the graveyard, which he boxed
up and buried in Greenwood.

became necessary TO remove the cemetery.
This removal was also necessitated from
other motives; the cemetery was almost
in the midst oil populous and growing
city, It obstructed the progress Of streets,
and It was an eye sore TO many OF the
public spirited and progressive citizens,
besides Il was already full OF bodies, 80 in
1850 the City Council appointed 8 com.
mittee consisting Of Dr.. A. s. Todd, chair
man, George Forbes, Alex. HAdden, J,
n. Ewing and Thomas g. Culbertson, to
purchase q site for new city
cemetery and 10 remove the old
ons. Il was at first. intended by
this committee TO purchase grounds at
what Is now Leathetwood, and negotis.
lion was carried on with reference 10 carry
ing out this intention, but then the objsc.
tlons were raised that the distance was TOO
great from the city, and the Peninsula
grounds, consisting Of twenty.one acres
aud traction over, we're purchased from
the late Daniel Steenrod in 1851, at . cost
oil $500 an acre, q fabulous price in those
days. An EOglishman named Pratt laid
out the grounds, and the work Of removal
at once 6egSn. All those who had friends
removed them, either to Mt. Wood, the
Peninsula, or the Catholic Qene'ery at
Manchester, and the )mmittae made con.
tract with Jacob Amtck to grade down six
feet deep across the cemetery and remove
the bones to the Peninsula, which contract
was faithfully performed, aud the dust Of
hundreds oil unknown ones removed 10 the
corner OF the new pure base,
The grayestones we're also removed and
placed In position on the new graves as
carefully as possible.

will occur 10 any one. A beautiful and con
modious green house Is being erected il
the rear Of the superintendent house
and next year new and convenient resi-
dence for the use OF Mr.. Walton Burk,

To Mr.. Burke our reporter is indebted
for the privilege OF the grounds, and fol
valuable information about them, and Il
his care and attention the present mag
nifcent appearance Of things at the GENE
terry Is attributable.
THE cHAPLIER GRAVE YARD.
At the head OF Twenty.third street
above Eotf, there 10 one OF the most unat
trac,ive, desolate looking places imag:ns
bic, and yet some years ago 1t was one O.
the, II We may be allowed the term, fash
ionable cemeteries Of the city. In 1t were
buried the Chaplines, Eofs and others o.
the first settlers, and what were then the
first families Of the neighborhood, and
their names may yet be traced on the old
tombstones and tablets that are iss,
crumbling TO pieces an that bleak and un'
inviting hillside.
This cemetery Is probably one Of the
Oldest in the city, aud was formerly q por'
ton Of the Chspline estate. It was laid
out as public cemetery by the late VIM.
Chapline, who died In 1852. 1t would be
very hard to fix the exact date at which
interments began there, but from the best
data at our command we would infer that
there were burIals in itsome years anterior
10 1880.

two hundred yards towards the

exception of few scratches, which
taking into consideration the dis

etc. appears miraculous, The
