Appreciation

New York, 1895

That the liberal offers made by the Cedar Grove Cemetery (located on the Old Mill road near Flushing) are appreciated by the citizens is indicated by the numbers of interments that are being made there.

No effort has been spared to make it a peaceful park-like resting place for the dead and the prompt appreciation of the efforts expended in that direction shown by the people, is very encouraging to those interested in making this ideal "city of the dead" one of the most beautiful on the Island."

—The Long Island Farmer, Jamaica, NY, April 12, 1895, p. 5.
