Pine Street Cemetery, sometimes referred to as the old Cemetery, is located within the city of Gallipolis. It is probably the second largest cemetery in the county, although Gravel Hill in Cheshire Township is about the same size. Mound Hill in Gallipolis with over 5,000 burials is the largest. During the Civil War there was an army hospital in Gallipolis and many soldiers from both the North and South were sent here for care and during that period the mortality rate for battle wounds and for infectious diseses such as typhoid fever was high. Many of those who died were buried here in the Pine Street Cemetery in the military section (see photo on bottom right).
