Sugar Grove Cemetery, Wilmington, Ohio : "The Sugar Grove Cemetery Association was formed in 1857 by a group of civic-minded Clinton Countians who saw the pressing need to develop a centralized location for burying the dead - a place that essentially would eliminate the nearly 100 small, often neglected burial sites scattered throughout the county in churchyards, backyards, barnyards, hillsides, cornfields and woodsy coves. The Association bought 23 acres on the west side of Wilmington and hired nurseryman Leo Weltz, a 33-year-old Prussian-born landscape gardener, to lay out a cemetery on the pretty piece of land. He started his work on March 5, 1858, and just a few months later the rugged, big-hearted German with an encyclopedic knowledge of horticulture unveiled Sugar Grove, with its hundreds of varieties of trees and plants, gracefully winding drives, and wide grassy spaces. Those who entered the peaceful, lush, welcoming grounds felt the full effect of Mr. Weltz's philosophy of landscape design: There is no melancholy in nature. Sugar Grove Cemetery was dedicated on August 28, 1958, and in the years since has become a community unto itself. there have been 14,600 interments, including 1,643-plus veterans; special areas have been formally designated for Civil War soldiers, children, charity cases, and pets; mausoleums have been built; a monument to the veterans of all wars has been erected; and 94 additional acres have been purchased for lots. Sugar Grove resonates with the varied stories of its residents, and with the vision of a remarkable man who transplanted the aesthetics of European royal gardens to Wilmington, Ohio." - from the brochure titled "Historic Sugar Grove Cemetery" published by the the Sugar Grove Cemetery Association
