There are approximately 25,000 people buried in Oakwood Cemetery, including many from before the Civil War. The cemetery is the burial site of many iconic figures in Fremont, including U.S. Congressmen, Civil War soldiers and officers. The cemetery was once the burial location for President Rutherford B. Hayes and wife Lucy. However, after approximately 20 years, the President and his wife's remains were moved to Spiegel Grove which is their former homestead and home of the first Presidential Library built in 1916. Among the other local notables buried at Oakwood are Maj. Gen. Ralph Buckland; 1912 U.S. Olympic bronze medalist Clarence Childs, and Russ Christy, founder of the Christy Knife Company. The Cemetery is on both sides of Oakwood Street in Fremont Ohio.
