ERIE CEMETERY - The Beginning: The Erie Cemetery was dedicated on May 20th, 1851. The first Superintendent of the Erie
Cemetery was Capt. Samuel Low, a civil engineer, who also served as City Surveyor. In his making of the grounds he was tasteful
and artistic and planned lots, paths, walkways, avenues and ornamental plots of beauty and symmetry.
ERIE CEMETERY ASSOCIATION - Now: The Erie Cemetery Association comprises 3 locations - the Erie Cemetery at 21st and
Chestnut, Wintergreen Gorge Cemetery at Route 8 six miles South of Erie, and Laurel Hill Cemetery off Route 832, Sterrettania
Road, West of Erie. Each of these cemeteries is maintained by the Association with grounds that reflect a devoted attention to quality
grounds care, maintenance of their striking natural beauty, where perpetual care is the hallmark and each providing a resting place
where simplicity reigns.
