Green-Wood Cemetery
Section 159, Lot 15788.
There are 20 burials in this lot, but only 10 stones, and many of those are badly eroded, though not very old. Most individuals buried here are not memorialized by any currently visible or legible stone or inscription. A compete burial list follows the inscriptions.
