Either end of the iron fence are two sets of two identical pillars which marks dual entrances into the graveyard. I noticed the pillars are constructed, designed and to all appearances are identical to those found at the Colestown Cemetery in Cherry Hill, NJ.
The cemetery was purchased for $120 by Evesham in 1813 from Enoch & Hannah Stratton for a public burying ground. It then became part of Medford Village upon the founding of the township in 1847. A historical marker is placed here which commemorates the 150th anniversary of this cemetery.
