These papers were donated to the Cape Ann Museum by the Oak Grove Cemetery Board of Trustees through member George W. Belezos. Mr. Belezos was active in the management of the cemetery from 1982 to his retirement in 2006. He served as caretaker, member of the Board of Trustees and Treasurer. The papers offer an insight into the operation and struggles of the cemetery from financial concerns to vandalism and the proposed transfer of the property to the City of Gloucester. The cemetery was accepted into the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.
The papers cover a much broader period than Mr. Belezos’ time with the cemetery including insurance documents 1959-1999; bills and receipts 1969-1999; burial permits 1920-1993; and tax records and financial statements 1934-1999. The collection also includes three ledger books, one of which is a record of burials 1880-2002; a number of plans of the cemetery; as well as pamphlets, organizational information, photographs and handwritten notes.
