"In 1812, July 6th, the Meeting bought a lot for a Burial Ground, on Ninth street, consisting of one half acre. They purchased of Derrick Y. Vanderheyden, and Thomas Betts and Aaron Jones were the Trustees. In December, 1845, they purchased a quarter of an acre of John Gary, on the east of the other lot, carrying the grounds through from Ninth to Tenth street, and making their burial ground 200 by 100 feet. Last fall, the Meeting made arrangements for a plat of ground in Oakwood Cemetery, as a Friends' Burial Ground, and the bodies were removed from these grounds and deposited in their new resting place in Oakwood. This arrangement leaves the old ground vacant, and it will be sold for private uses."
