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.

A deed signed on January 1, 1867 states this one acre parcel was then used and to be used as a burying ground for the poor of the Town of Deerpark. Known as "God's Acre," this cemetery adjoins that owned by Temple Beth El (Agudath Achim Cemetery) which was authorized by the City of Port Jervis in 1909. The most current reference to a burial in God's Acre found to date is 1924. This cemetery appears to have been largely associated with the African-American community in Port Jervis, NY, served by the still operating Wickham Church. A community of color was once located near the end of the street on which this unmarked cemetery is located.
