This ten and a half acre site was sold to the city in 1897 for a public cemetery. It was enclosed by a masonry wall and later a steel fence with two iron gate entrances. Numerous trees have been planted throughout the cemetery and were quite beautiful giving the cemetery a parklike setting before the hurricane devastation. There is a Jewish section, an African American section and an Anglos section. A small Mediterranean style building in the cemetery is used as an office (location of coordinates).

One of the most fascinating graves is that of William F. Miller and Carrie B. Miller 1926. The body of Carrie Barrett Miller was moulded in this solid block of concrete on December 4, 1926. After her body had gone to dust her sleeping form remained.
