Comments
The original cemetery was condemned for a playground (Capitolo) in 1946 and the remains were moved to a lot adjacent to Rosedale Cemetery. A plaque in the middle of a field is the only evidence of where the cemetery is located. Please see Evergreen Cemetery for further information.
Thanks to volunteer Peg Felter for gathering information on this cemetery
