FRIENDS BURIAL GROUND, W Broadway between 4th and 5th Sts., was set aside in 1676, a year after the town was founded. The plot contains the remains of some of Salem's oldest settlers. Typical of Quaker burial grounds the low white headstones, few of them more than 1 foot high, have no inscriptions but the name and dates of birth and death. - New Jersey: A Guide To Its Present and Past, 1939, Salem section, pg. 396
The burial ground is well cared for by the Society of Friends. It is much as described in the Guide with a brick wall surrounding the cemetery.
