The Cleveland Liberty Row Online Memorial strives to reveal and preserve the personal and military stories of soldiers from the Cleveland, Ohio area who died in World War I. Between the years 1919-1924, Cleveland enacted an important civic project: a tree memorial known as Liberty Row to immortalize approximately 850 of its more than 1,000 war dead. (Approximately 41,000 Clevelanders served in World War I, of whom 1,023 were killed during the conflict.)

The biographical profiles of the soldiers are not presented in the form of an in-depth genealogy. Rather, our goal is to identify the names of the soldiers as accurately as possible and present a few details about them before their lives were cut short by World War I. A simple remembrance of who they were. 

The online memorial is a work in progress. Some pages are currently under construction or incomplete. However, the site is fully functional and ready for public use.  

The editors are a public history researcher and a website designer who wish to keep alive the memory of the Liberty Row memorial and the young men it enshrines, before the memorial and the fallen soldiers are lost to history.
