Description

Our Church Cemetery was founded in 1910 - five years after the founding of our Church. In May of 1910, they acquired five wooded acres from James Bisset, the first mayor of South River, for the sum of $300.00. To celebrate the signing of the deed, our parishioners walked through one and a half miles of marsh and woods until they found the hill where the cross now stands. In 1949, the church acquired an additional 10 acres for the cemetery from Marcus Wright (son of the builder of our church). The property remained wooded until 1962. Another strip of land was acquired from the town to include some old burials which were located on borough property, and the entire 15 acres were fenced in for the first time. The cemetery grounds are approximately a quarter mile from the Church accessible through Raymond Place, off of Kamm Avenue.
