In Josephine Frost's 1904 book, Cemetery Inscriptions from Hempstead, Long Island, New York, she identified four different cemeteries for which she provided headstone inscriptions. This is one of those cemeteries.

It was described as: A private burying ground east of the park on Fulton Street and next to the residence of the Presbyterian Minister. The grounds are in very bad order, stones down and covered with briers and weeds and a number be forever lost.

Please do not request photos.



The cemetery was identified as the New Cemetery on the 1873 Hempstead map from the Atlas of Long Island by Beers, Comstock, & Cline. The cemetery was adjacent to and east of the Old Town Burying Ground and was west of the Presbyterian Parsonage (now occupied by Christ's First Presbyterian Church) on the northwest corner of the intersection of Fulton Street and Washington Street. The cemetery extended from the present Fulton Avenue to the present Nichols Court and is currently a parking lot to the west of Christ's First Presbyterian Church. In 1873, the Presbyterian Church was located on Fulton Street to the west of the Old Town Burying Ground. The Presbyterian Cemetery was located behind the church.
