CommentThis cemetery is located beside the south side of Greenwich Avenue in Pontiac at telephone pole #73. It contains 2,800 burials with 2,313 inscriptions. The cemetery is still being used. It’s on the tax assessor’s map, Plat #271, Lot #168. James Arnold visited this lot 20 Sept. 1891. He called it the “new yard at Pontiac, yard fenced in good order” (Vol. 4, p. 129). St. Paul Lutheran Cemetery and All Saints Cemetery are side by side with the last few sections interlaced. The superintendent in 1995 is Richard Nelson. Each entry starts with section number followed by the map number. Recorded by John Sterling for a book on Warwick cemeteries.
