The morning of Tuesday June 18, twenty-five members of the Parma Hilton Historical Society and Parma town officials gathered at 260 Parma Center Road, in front of Parma Union Cemetery, to dedicate a historical marker. The Parma Hilton Historical Society financed the marker which honors the cemetery which has become the final resting place for many families over the 172 years since its founding in 1853.
Town Supervisor Jim Roose welcomed everyone, Reverend Nancy Laport gave the invocation, Parma Hilton Historian Dave Crumb gave some history of the cemetery, and Tom Burger, local funeral director, spoke in detail of his involvement caring for the cemetery over the last 50 years.
