Add Photosmap titled "Plan of Cincinnati, Including All the late Additions & Subdivisions, Engraved for Oliver Farnsworth 1819". The cemetery was established about 1810 with its last burial about 1852. The former location of the cemetery is now the site of Cincinnati Music Hall.
According to 1913 account {"Social Problems pamphlets"}p.17:
"In Cincinnati the practise is equally involved, and out of 305 pauper burials 76 were under the supervision of the Department of Public Welfare, 34 were deaths which occurred at the tuberculosis sanitarium, 165 were deaths at the city hospital, and 30 deaths at the city infirmary. Of the 305 cases 37 required only the supply of a coffin, and in three cases there was a supplementary money grant."
According to a "Cincinnati Enquirer" May 8, 1988 article, potter field remains, which had been found in 1927 at the Music Hall and then reburied, were accidentally found again in May 1988.
The cemetery was located in the city of Cincinnati, Hamilton County, Ohio, and is # 15140 (City Potters Field) in "Ohio Cemeteries 1803-2003", compiled by the Ohio Genealogical Society.
