Greenwood Cemetery in the 1869 Niagara County Directory, Wilson

Jeanette Sheliga

The following is an extract from the 1869 Gazetteer and Business Directory of Niagara County, NY in the Wilson portion of the Gazetteer of Towns.

Green Wood Cemetery is located upon a point of land in the bay of the Twelve Mile Creek, a quarter of a mile west of the village. The inclosure contains seven acres of land donated by Luther Wilson. The beautiful and picturesque scenery, the taste and care manifest in the improvements render it an appropriate spot for the use to which it has been appropriated.”
