BRUNSWICK BAPTIST CEMETERY, NEW BRUNSWICK, NEW JERSEY

Located in New Brunswick, New Jersey, at the Mile Run Brook, this cemetery is bounded by Livingston Avenue and Reed Brook. The original First Baptist Church was near the corner of George and Somerset streets and the graveyard surrounded the church.  When the present church building was erected in 1837, the graveyard was moved to the corner of George and Morris streets.
