About
In the summer of 2003, Cuyahoga Common Pleas Judge Nancy A. Fuerst brokered a settlement between the Cities of Cleveland, Cleveland Heights and East Cleveland, which led to the formation of the East Cleveland Township Cemetery Foundation, which was headed by Bill Garrison, who was also President of Lake View Cemetery, and straddles the same three municipalities associated with East Cleveland Township Cemetery.
