New Somerville Cemetery

Somerville Cemetery refers to two cemeteries located in Somerville, New Jersey, in the United States. The "Old Cemetery" was founded about 1813, but its small size meant that it quickly filled. In 1867, the "New Cemetery" (a much larger burying ground) was founded across Bridge Street from the Old C

emetery. The New Cemetery has a large African American section, an artifact of an era in which burials were often segregated by race.
