Place:First Reformed Church of Roseland Cemetery, Chicago, Cook, Illinois, United States

History

Cemetery for the congregation members of the First Reformed Church of Roseland. Very poor records were kept of this church cemetery as most of the plots were family plots without individual deeds. Most of the markers were wooden and decayed over time. When 107th street was opened up to allow it to go through, the cemetery had to be disinterred, and the bodies relocated. Mount Greenwood, a new cemetery at the time, welcomed the relocated bodies, but could only accept bodies with certification. Unidentified, uncertified bodies were not accepted until many years later in a mass grave in Mount Greenwood. There may still be some bodies buried under 107th street.
