Add PhotosSt. John's Cemetery is a small burying ground occupying a square plot off Belleville Avenue, between Crittenden Street and Fourth Avenue. It is connected with St. John's Church, and is entirely an Irish Catholic burying place. In the centre, is the tomb of the Very Rev. Patrick Moran, first Vicar General of the Diocese of Newark, and pastor of the St. John's church, who died in 1866. The records on the tombstones show that most of the dead were emigrants. Almost every county in Ireland has its representative, and many towns and cities of the Green Isle are registered as the place of birth of those below. Quite a number of the monuments are handsome, but most of them are simply marble slabs, with the traditional inscription, and sometimes a tasteful monuments. Not a few graves have a simple wooden cross. The cross with the I. H. S. 'Iesus Hominem Salvator,' representative of the Catholic above all other churches is almost universal. The size of the grounds prevent anything like extensive walks, but the grave yard is well shaded and neatly kept.
In the 1950's, all burials were relocated from the cemetery to a common grave in the Holy Cross Cemetery in North Arlington.
