St. Mary's Cemetery was the parish cemetery for St. Mary's Roman Catholic Church. It is located in East Orange, bounded by Hoffman Blvd, the railroad, Rutledge Ave. and Springdale Ave. A number of years ago it was sold to the Diocese. All records are now kept at Holy Sepulchre Cemetery.

From "Hand book and guide for the city of Newark, New Jersey: carefully edited and compiled from authentic sources" Newark Daily Advertiser Print, 1872:

St. Mary's is situated just outside the city limits in the plain lying north of Roseville and east of Orange. The grounds are small, perfectly level, and destitute of much pretension to ornament. One large tree throws its branches aloft, a tall crucifix with a life size image of the Savior nailed to it, a few neat monuments and a large number of humble crosses to mark the various graves. Such is the aspect of St. Mary's It is, however, being planted with willows and evergreens, young as yet, but which will in time make the Cemetery a very pleasing object in the landscape.
