Today at noon I went to my Hi 12 Club Meeting in Dayton. As always we ate first and then had an interesting historical speaker. While she research on information from folks buried at Woodlands Cemetary (one of the most famous for the well known and powerful from Dayton) along with many unique and ornate burial markers and statues. The Wright Brothers are buried here, Paul Lawrence Dunbar, Charles Kettering (was great friends and often collaborated with Thomas Edison) just to name a few. This talk today, however, focused on the numerous owners of breweries from 1810 to 1920 who are buried at the Cemetery. It was amazing that there were probably 40 different breweries during this timeframe in Dayton. (Maybe the microbrewery growth of which Dayton is a national leader is not so surprising.)
