NOTICE:
This site is NOT associated with the Presbyterian Church in Elizabeth, but designed to be a genealogical collection site for gravestone photos that will be lost in time.
Interested in collecting photos of old gravestones located at this cemetery in an effort to preserve the history of the lives of those laid to rest there. If you can attach some genealogical history or lineage to the person that would be even better. You are welcome to send scanned photos to Audrey for inclusion on this site. HOWEVER, please contact Audrey before sending.
Does anyone have a picture of the graveyard and its church?
