Woodland Cemetery — Attraction in Newark

It's known that the cemetery seemed to have gone through a long period of being abandoned, causing the lawn to be very overgrown. I'm a witness that Mr. Vincentz & his team have been doing a great job of cleaning up the property. I was able to visit the cemetery for the first time yesterday & put some flowers down for a relative. Her area was very nice & maintained.

I've been in contact with the volunteer team surrounding Mary Lish and her friends for about 3 years now....In 2019 I was looking for information of the burial sites of some of my ancestors...the team collected information for me, and even sent me photos of the graves of my relatives....I admire this work, and that includes the cleaning up of the cemetery, of the graves and gravestones also, as well as the digitization of the data on the old documents and tombstones....many gravesites are of course still in the devastated areas... but they are working on it....they are all volunteers, who don't get any money for it...by the way: every small donation helps.....some of the photos, I received, are attached....I am very grateful !!!....greetings...
