      This cemetery was established in the 1880s. According to the staff, there are no records of any burials before 1891. Records of burials between 1891 and 1915 contain only a limited amount of information. Records after 1915 are much more complete. Most of the earlier burials are Irish, but there are some Portuguese and French as well. We have only transcribed those stones that are, or likely are, of Irish individuals, and others are included if they were on the same stone.
