Cholera Epidemics
Beginning in the early 1830s, cholera epidemics killed thousands of United States citizens, including many Ohioans. Cholera first appeared in the United States in 1832, apparently arriving with European immigrants.
Cholera is a disease that is spread by drinking water or eating food that is contaminated with human feces. People who contract cholera generally suffer from severe diarrhea, vomiting, and cramps. People with this illness can die from dehydration within a few hours or days after the symptoms first appear.
The Harrison Township Cholera Cemetery
