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.

NT500

Owner: Island Cemetery

When Island Cemetery (NT001) was incorporated in 1848, there were two cemeteries situated on the grounds: the "New Burying Ground" and Willow Cemetery. The original lot deed for Willow Cemetery, signed by Henry E. Turner, is dated 2 Jan. 1852 and is in the safe at Island Cemetery. Four file drawers there contain cards of lot maps and names made by a previous superintendent in the 1920s. Although Dr. Turner lists transcriptions of stones separately in his collection, other transcribers do not make a distinction, and Willow is no longer identified as a separate cemetery.
