Unnamed Cemetery

Unnamed Burial Ground

Located 1/10 mile North on Rte 9 from Cape May County Zoo, Cape May Court House on left.

This small burial ground is just off the main road outside the zoo and very well kept. All graves except Elijah Matthews are in 3 rows and close to one another. It appears Elijah was the first buried here and it wasn't until about 104 years later that the others were buried here.
