Please note that there may be two cemeteries by the name of Evergreen in the Elizabeth, NJ area. The one in Elizabeth, just west of the Newark Airport, is totally different from the Evergreen Cemetery in Hillside. I do not think that the Evergreen Cemetery in Hillside, NJ has any security problems. I believe that Gary is referring to the Evergreen Cemetery, which is adjacent to two Jewish cemeteries, and can be found a mile or so west of Newark Airport is bounded by Frelinghuysen Ave. on the east, North Broad Street on the south and Rt. 22 on the west, and I suspect may have security problems. You can locate the Evergreen Cemetery on the Yahoo map or on the Cosmi software "Travel Maps USA". It is difficult to discern the boundaries of the three cemeteries in the area mentioned above on these maps. I suspect that it is good advice to check out the security of the cemetery before you venture in alone. Bill [email protected] wrote: > Please listen to Gary and be careful.
