Essex County, New Jersey Cemeteries

The first Roman Catholic cemetery in Newark (if one excepts the few interments made in the very early days at St. John's Church) was a little plot on the hillside, looking towards the then
beautiful Passaic. To-day it is the well-nigh forgotten burying place in the rear of St. Michael's church, near the southwest corner of Belleville and Fourth avenues, and was there long, long before St. Michael's parish was dreamed of. Thither, for many a year, the exiles from Erin when called to their last sleep, were borne from old St. John's church on Mulberry street. There many a sturdy soul who had left the homeland disheartened and discouraged by oppression was finally laid to rest. The plot has not been used as a cemetery for a generation and longer (1913).
