"In 1913, New Bern City Council had a problem on its hands. The Cedar Grove Cemetery was running out of space. This old cemetery located along Queen and George Streets in New Bern is one of the finest historical cemeteries in the state. Founded in 1800 by Christ Episcopal Church after yellow fever filled up its capus graveyard, Cedar Grove would become the final resting place of many of the city's founders and heroes."
