Kotecki Founder Works As Stonecutter On Garfield Memorial
In 1890, The James A. Garfield Memorial was under construction at Lakeview Cemetery. The building was the final resting place of the 22nd US President. Garfield was born in Moreland Hills, and was assassinated just four months in office. Journeyman stonecutter Joseph Kotecki began his family’s legacy in Cleveland as he worked on the presidential national memorial. The monument displays gold mosaics, colored marble, stained glass windows and red granite columns.
Today, Lakeview is best known as the final resting place for many of Cleveland’s iconic residents – political officials, business owners and industrialists, actors, civic leaders to name a few.
With over 110,000 memorials, the cemetery has celebrated its 150th Year of service.
