HOPE CHURCH CEMETERY
Coventry Twp, Summit County, Ohio

Location: Now Part of Lakewood Cemetery at 1080 W. Waterloo Rd. Akron, OH 44313

Status: Maintained by Lakewood Cemetery Association

History:This cemetery was originally associated with the Hope Evangelical Church. it was called the "Unnamed" Cemetery because it is found noted on the 1874 Summit County Atlas map of Coventry Township but is not named on the map.

Interesting Facts: The cemetery that originally sat behind Hope Church on Waterloo Rd in Barberton is today in the northwest corner (Section V) of Lakewood Cemetery. The church building has been torn down.

Copied: In the 1980's the chapter copied the inscriptions at Lakewood Cemetery. These readings included the entries below that are labeled "Hope Church Cemetery". By the end of 2007, the Chapter hopes to publish the full readings done of the Lakewood property as well as the office records obtained at the time which cover the opening of the cemetery in 1893 through 1985.
