Bicentennial Celebration
As part of the Portage County Bicentennial Celebration, the Bicentennial Committee has recommended honoring outstanding citizens who lived in the community and are buried in local cemeteries. Working with our staff and Richard Fetzer, historian, we have submitted three names: Mr. Ebenezer Sheldon, 1754-1825, founder of Aurora; Mr. Charles R. Harmon, 1811-1902, leading merchant and State of Ohio Legislator; Mr. John I. Eldridge, 1896-1986, Aurora Mayor 1956-1959, a leader who moved Aurora Township to the City of Aurora.
We will honor these three outstanding men at the Aurora Cemetery on Saturday, May 17 at 11:00a.m. There will be a recognition service conducted at each grave site. Mr. Richard Fetzer, Landmark Chairman and Councilman at-Large John Kudley, the Mayor and others will be participating. Please plan to attend this memorial event.
At 10:30a.m., our Aurora scouting program will participate in the mounting if 240 American Flags at the cemetery as they have in past years.
