Knollwood Cemetery is another large cemetery.. I could never list all the people who are buried there.. but here are a few names that I have found in my research.
Interesting people buried here: EVANS, Billy b. February 10, 1884. d. January 23, 1956.
Baseball umpire. Member of the Baseball Hall of Fame.
Interment Location: Mausoleum, North wing extension, crypt 749A.
PRESSER, Jackie d. July 9, 1998.
President of the Teamsters from 1983-1988. He was indicted on federal charges in 1986 of racketeering and embezzlement but never stood trial. Presser said that he was an FBI informant. Died in Lakewood, Ohio on July 9,1998 of brain cancer. Was a staunch supporter of Ronald Reagan and assisted him in winning the Republican presidential nomination.
Cause of Death: Brain cancer.
SHEPPARD, Marilyn Reese b. 1923. d. July 4, 1954.
Wife of Dr. Sam Sheppard who was wrongly accused of murdering her. The crime became the inspiration for the television series "The Fugitive." Dr. Sheppard was originally convicted of the crime and spent ten years in prison. In 1966, a jury found Dr. Sheppard not guilty of the murder. DNA evidence from the exhumation of Dr. Sheppard's body in 1997 indicated that Richard Eberling may have killed Mrs. Sheppard. A civil suit has been filed by son Sam Reese Sheppard to clear his father's name and have him declared innocent. On October 5, 1999, Ms. Sheppard's body was exhumed by the DA's office, but the case is still pending.
Interment Location: Mausoleum.
Cause of Death: Beaten to death.
