Also known as Avondale Cemetery, Cholera Cemetery. "The First German Protestant Cemetery" located in the 3600 block of Reading Road. That cemetery, which opened in 1802, had been closed for burials since 1864 after many victims of the cholera epidemics in Cincinnati in 1849 and 1864 had been buried there. It was thought at the time that even touching the bones could spread the cholera germ again and start another epidemic.
