Since 1876, the cemetery has been overseen, maintained and operated by a
three-person board of trustees, appointed by the mayor with the approval of the village
council. Under this leadership, the cemetery has grown to over thirty acres and many
consider it the most beautiful in the county. Day to day maintenance is the responsibility
of two part time laborers and a part time clerk.

Many historic elements are incorporated into the cemetery landscape: a Civil War era
naval cannon and sea mine, secured by Wm. McKinley, 25th President of the United
States, is here. A footbridge constructed of Carnegie steel and placed into the cemetery
prior to 1900 spans a ravine. A cast iron fence, ca. 1870 that once enclosed the "old"
Market Street School, now encloses the grounds of the cemetery office. The estate of U.
S. Supreme Court Justice, John Hessin Clark funds the beautiful and grandiose iron gates
that adorn the main entrance into the cemetery. There are also monuments to the
veterans of WWI, WWII, and the Korean War. Soldiers who participated in all American
wars from the Revolutionary War to Desert Storm are buried here.
There is also an historic side light to the cemetery, the Hanna or Old Quaker Cemetery.
Although this small plot of ground in a grove of trees at the east end of the cemetery is
not officially part of the cemetery, the board of trustees and maintenance crew take care
of it. The Hanna family members were early residents and made significant contributions
to history of New Lisbon, Columbiana County, and the United States.

A privately owned mausoleum, erected in 1914, was donated to the village by Mrs. Doris
Eells. This structure is in the art deco style that reintroduced a likeness to Egyptian tombs
and temples. The extensively restored mausoleum is still in use and available for those
who choose this method of burial.
