President William Henry Harrison (February 9, 1773 – April 4, 1841) was the 9th President of the United States of America. He had the shortest presidency in U.S. history after dying only 31 days after his inauguration as President. He held office from March 4, 1841 to April 4, 1841. President Willaim Henry Harrison was the last President to be born a British subject.

Anna Tuthill Harrison ( née Symmes; July 25, 1775 – February 25, 1864) was the wife of President William Henry Harrison, mother of John Scott Harrison, and paternal grandmother of President Benjamin Harrison. She was nominally the first lady of the United States during her husband's one-month term in 1841, though she never entered the White House. Her final resting place is in a vault at the William Henry Harrison State Memorial.

John Scott Harrison (October 4, 1804 – May 25, 1878) was an American farmer and politician who served as a member of the United States House of Representatives from Ohio. He was the son of U.S. President William Henry Harrison and First Lady Anna Harrison and the father of U.S. President Benjamin Harrison. His final resting place is in a vault at the William Henry Harrison State Memorial.

President Benjamin Harrison (August 20, 1833 – March 13, 1901) served as the 23rd president of the United States. President William Henry Harrison was his grandfather, and he was the great-grandson of Benjamin Harrison V, a founding father who signed the United States Declaration of Independence.

John Cleves Symmes (July 12, 1742 - February 26, 1814) was William Henry Harrison's father-in-law and making him the great-grandfather to President Benjamine Harrison. John Cleves Symmes held several posts in the Revolutionary War and was a member of the Continental Congress. He is a founder of Cincinnati, Ohio, and the village of Cleves, Ohio, is named after him. John Cleves Symmes was from New Jersey and was laid to rest at Congress Green Cemetery in North Bend, Ohio.

The tomb has 24 vaults containing the bodies of William Henry Harrison; his wife, Anna, who died in 1864; their son, John Scott, father of President Benjamin Harrison; and other members of the family. Several sealed vaults are unmarked.

Running buffalo clover (Trifolium stoloniferum) is a perennial plant so named because it grows by extending runners (stolons) along the ground. The flower heads are white and about an inch wide on stems 2 – 8 inches tall.

In Ohio, running buffalo clover flowers in May and June. Running buffalo clover (RBC) is adapted to the transition zone between forests and prairies that were once abundant in Ohio. It’s thought that RBC may have depended on bison and prairie fires to periodically disturb the soil and disperse its seeds. Due to the loss of this ecosystem, today the federally endangered plant survives in only a few isolated spots in the state.

A small population of RBC is being actively managed on the mound of Congress Green Cemetery. We work to carefully maintain this native species by following the mowing regime recommended by the US Fish and Wildlife Service. The mound of the green is not mowed from May 1 until June 15 to give the RBC a chance to grow, flower, and disperse its seeds. During this time the grass and other vegetation on the green grow quite tall and begins to resemble the beautiful and productive prairie habitat that once made up a third of Ohio.
