Here's some picture's I took on a recent trip to Mount Calvary Cemetery.
This is one of the cemeteries that was hit during the 1913 flood . It hit the downtown and westside pretty hard. If you check out the two photo's below you will notice what looks like a empty section, but actually that's where the burials had been until they were washed away in the flood most of the records for this cemetery was destroyed in the flood as well so it is impossible to find out who was buried in those locations.

Anna Hahn (Arsenic Anna)
July 7, 1906 - December 7, 1938
First Lady to die in Ohio's Electric Chair
Anna Marie Hahn was a German immigrant who arrived in Cincinnati in 1929. Shortly thereafter she married, returned to Germany to pick up her five-year-old illegitimate son, and then began a life of deadly crime in Cincinnati’s Over-the-Rhine district.
Nobody knows how many people died by her hand, but she was convicted of one death, admitted killing four, and poisoned at least eight others. It is unclear how many died from ingesting her poisons.
Her motive was money, which she needed to maintain her gambling habit (horses). During the Depression, when money was tight, she set a personal daily loss limit of $700.
Her last day on Death Row:
Anna spent much of her time writing four separate letters, which she later handed to her attorneys. As the clock grew nearer her emotions became more difficult to control . She was an emotional wreck by the time prison authorities arrived to walk her down to the death chamber, As they made their way into the death chamber Anna passed out and collapsed to the floor. Officials quickly revived her with an ammonia capsule and then strapped her into the chair. "Don't do this to me," she cried out, don't let them do this to me." Tears began to role down the Wardens face as he solemnly replied, "I am sorry, but we can't help it." As prison officials let the clock tick down, in the off chance that the Governor might call, Anna called out for Father John Sullivan, the prison chaplain. "Father, come close," she said. Together the two began to recite the Lord's Prayer, but just halfway through the switch was thrown and Anna's body jerked and convulsed as the electricity flowed through it. Anna Marie Hahn was officially pronounced dead at 8:13 p.m. on December 7, 1938
Anna Marie Hahn's body was buried in unsanctified ground at the Holy Cross Catholic Cemetery in Columbus, Ohio. Now known as Mount Calvery Cemetery Buried in the back close to cooper Stadium among other prisoners from the Ohio pen. Her weathered stone almost illegible still tells a story .
