Every effort has been made to identify the persons interred in this ancient burial ground, which contains stones dated as early as 1765. Burials include many of the early natives of the Cedar Grove section of Caldwell Township as well as many inhabitants of the Little Falls area of Passaic County and veterans of the American Revolution. This work begins with a brief history of Cedar Grove Cemetery. The names are listed alphabetically and are supplemented with facts found in documented sources (state archives, church records, funeral home records, etc.) including occupations, military service, marriage, children and extensive census information.

St. Mark's Episcopal Cemetery is located adjacent to the historic Old Burying Ground of the First Presbyterian Church of Orange at Main Street and Scotland Road. Recent on-site research and old cemetery maps from teh archives of the Episcopal Diocese of Newark have provided discovery of many previously unrecorded interments at this cemetery. These additions, including some data about the Negro Burial Ground, have now been researched and included in this revised edition. The latest burial found was in 1955 and the cemetery is now inactive. The list of internments is listed alphabetically by last name and includes dates, ages, marriage information, children, inscriptions, Civil War service, personal news items and relevant census information. Many of these persons were descendants of the oldest families of Orange and many were employed in the thriving hat industry. There are photographs, a history and map details of the cemetery. Also included are photos of St. Mark's Episcopal Church including details of the plaques and stained glass windows. This church is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
