Mount Moor Cemetery
West Nyack, Rockland County, New York

Lat: 41°05'47"N, Lon: 73°57'33"W

Contributed by Richard Hrazanek, Jul 01, 2002 [rhrazanek@yahoo.com].  Total records = 56.

Mount Moor Cemetery sits in the shadow of the Palisades Center Mall, just north of Route 59.

This well kept cemetery is maintained by the Mount Moor Cemetery Association located at 1 Milford Lane, Suffern, New York 10901.

A historical sign at the entrance of the cemetery says, "This: Burying ground for Colored people, was deeded on July 7, 1849 by James Benson and Jane Benson his wife to William H. Moor, Stephen Samuels and Isaac Williams, trustees. The cemetery has provided burial space for colored people, including veterans of the Civil War, the Spanish American War, World Wars l and ll and the Korean War. The grounds have been maintained since 1940 by the Mount Moor Cemetery Association, Inc."

Although several stones appear to have been professionally restored, many are too badly worn to read. There are also many field stones often used as burial markers with no inscriptions as well as a plain wooden cross.

This is a complete listing of burials transcribed on Jun 30, 2002 from my readings when I walked the cemetery on Apr 8, 2002.
