Elmwood Cemetery Then and Now


Another vintage postcard that I had copied down at the Black River Historical Society as a favor for a friend is the one shown above of the entrance to Elmwood Cemetery on North Ridge Road.

The sad, bleak postcard (click on it for a closer view) almost looks like an illustration. Note the name of the cemetery appears in the arched sign at the entrance.

The today view, shot on a sunny Sunday of this week, is quite a study in contrast.

The entrance arch and fence are gone, along with the trees lining the narrow lane. However, many of the headstones in the vintage photo can be easily found in the current view.
