The University of Cincinnati (1819) and Cincinnati’s Spring Grove Cemetery (1855) have a strong connection over the past 17 decades. Located just a few miles from each other, this urban university and the city’s beautiful garden cemetery share a heritage that includes UC students, faculty, administrators, and benefactors. Our exhibit is a continuing project that documents the relationship between the two institutions through the tombstones of those who made the University of Cincinnati what it is today.
Below is a list, in alphabetical order by last name, of important University of Cincinnati figures who have been buried in Spring Grove Cemetery. This list will be continuously updated, so please keep checking back with us. If there is a person or grave that particularly interests you, please email us at archives@ucmail.uc.edu and we will see what we can do about putting it up on our site.
