Vienna Township Green and Cemetery were created on June 20, 1810, when Ephraim Root and Uriel Holmes, Jr., deeded to Vienna Presbyterian Church members eight acres of cleared and improved land north west of the centre point. Historic structures standing on the Green are Vienna Presbyterian Church, built in 1854; Vienna Center School, built before 1872 and now serving as Copper Penny Masonic Lodge; and Vienna Methodist Church, built in 1849-50. The Soldiers and Sailors Monument was dedicated in 1889. Vienna Township Cemetery is the site of the township’s first burial, in 1805, of pioneer Abiel Bartholomew. Interred there are soldiers of the nation’s wars dating back to the American Revolution, Helen L. Betts, who lived from 1843 to 1910 and was the first woman to receive a medical degree in Mahoning Valley, and Lulie Mackey Wess, who lived from 1866 to 1934 and was the first woman licensed to practice law in Trumbull County. The Connecticut Land Company surveyed Vienna Township as Township 4, Range 2, in 1798. The township’s proprietors were Ephraim Root, Uriel Holmes, Jr., and Timothy Burr. Survey members Dennis Clark Palmer, Isaac Flower, and Samuel Hutchins and their families were the first to settle there in 1799. Between 1810 and 1840, Vienna was a center for the wooden works clock industry in Trumbull County and the Connecticut Western Reserve, with six factories located amid farms, sawmills, and quarries. After coal was discovered in 1866, more than twenty mines were opened, bringing boom times for two decades. Vienna’s miners helped bring about Ohio’s first mining safety law in 1874. Vienna was the birthplace of abolitionist and attorney John Hutchins, who lived from 1812 to 1891, represented Trumbull and Ashtabula counties in the United States Congress from 1859 to 1863, and raised troops during the Civil War.
