Maple Grove Cemetery's Growth

New York, 1895

The Maple Grove Cemetery report quite a steady increase of interments there this year over last, but as the board of health returns from New York and neighboring cities do not show any greater death rate than former years, in fact, for 1895 so far it has been somewhat less than the average, the increased number of burials at Maple Grove is undoubtedly occasioned by it becoming better known and appreciated by those who are obliged to patronize cemeteries. Maple Grove certainly has many advantages in its location over some of the larger and older cemeteries, and its grounds are admirably adapted for a beautiful burial place.

—The Long Island Farmer, Jamaica, NY, April 19, 1895, p. 2.
