About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

This site of this former cemetery is now developed. No signs of it's existence remain.

This cemetery was in use from 1795 until 1878. In 1878, the 1,116 bodies were moved by George Sessions & Sons. (Records of the now closed 'Sessions Funeral Home' are held by the American Antiquarian Society in Worcester, MA.) Most of the interred were reinterred at Hope Cemetery and some were reinterred at Rural Cemetery and very few went elsewhere.

Shortly before anyone had the idea to move the cemetery, the Worcester Historical Society transcribed the stones within this burying ground. Information about the transciption and the move is available in the book "Collections of the Worcester Sociery of Antiquity, Volume 1".
