Dr Byron Wade
Historic Woodland Cemetery
Dr Byron, a retired AF Colonel, had a distinguished career in the Dental Corps as a periodontist.
Founded in 1841, Woodland Cemetery and Arboretum is one of the nation’s oldest rural garden cemeteries. Its natural setting was a dramatic departure from traditional church burial grounds at the time. The cemetary provides a unique insight to some of Dayton's most interesting history.
