The House of Representatives of the 136th General Assembly of Ohio has adopted a resolution honoring Davids Cemetery on its 200th anniversary. Founded in 1826 by Christian Creager, the cemetery has a rich history, having separated from Davids Reformed Church in 1890 and later becoming a non-profit corporation. Over the years, it has expanded to over fifty-five acres and is co-owned by those buried there and others who have not yet exercised their burial rights. The resolution highlights the cemetery's professionalism and its role in providing compassionate support to families during their times of bereavement.
The resolution commends Davids Cemetery for its remarkable contributions to the community over the past two centuries, emphasizing its commitment to offering a variety of burial and cremation options, as well as dignified ceremonies. The members of the House express their pride in the cemetery's reputation for compassion and its dedication to maintaining a tradition of excellence. The resolution concludes with a directive for the Clerk of the House to transmit an authenticated copy of the resolution to Davids Cemetery, recognizing it as a significant Ohio endeavor.
