Eastlawn Cemetery is located at 1340 Woodland Avenue, Columbus, OH 43219 (Phone: 614-252-1415).  The first burial at the cemetery took place in 1924.  A large proportion of the Columbus area Chinese American and African American population is interred at Eastlawn.  I would be extremely grateful if any of the visitors to this page would volunteer to translate the inscriptions on the Chinese gravestones appearing here.  Contact me at .
