Cleveland's oldest cemetery is Erie Street Cemetery. 'Erie Street' is the 19th century name for 'East Ninth'. The arched entrance is across the street from the Indians' baseball park. The back entrance is on E. 14th. People jog through, and use the path that bisects the rectangular plot as a path between the two streets. Sometime during the Labor Day weekend, many headstones and monuments were toppled, some next to the fence at E.14th.
Some only fell, others broke. One can see how they were laid in place. Most of the stones were pushed so the inscriptions hit the grass and ground.
The hole in the foreground is a rabbit hole. I saw the rabbit, he retreated before i could photograph him.
