This a very charming cemetery that goes straight to the founders of Collingswood. There are Collings, Knight, Zane and Newby (schools), Dill (street). Very well kept next to the West Collingswood passenger rail station. Sadly, there are 50 stones that are unreadable. Importantly, there are a couple dozen veterans from the Revolutionary War.

This stone wall holds several headstones inside and out.

Plaque on the stone wall.
