Mound Cemetery Burials

Photos by: Mr. Kevin Carr

Mound Cemetery in Marietta, Ohio is home to the Great Mound or Conus, built by the Mound Builders, and is reportedly home to the largest number of American Revolutionary War officers buried in one location. The Great Mound was preserved by the original pioneers and city founders of the Ohio Company of Associates. Many of the founders were officers of the Revolutionary War who received land grants for military services. Officers of the American Revolutionary War buried in Mound Cemetery include General Rufus Putnam, General Benjamin Tupper, Commodore Abraham Whipple, Colonel William Stacy, and many others.

General Lafayette of France, who fought with the Americans during the Revolution, visted Marietta during 1825, and described these Marietta settlers and former soldiers: "I knew them well. I saw them fighting the battles of their country…They were the bravest of the brave. Better men never lived."
