On April 3, 1975, Oak Grove Cemetery in Gloucester, MA was accepted in the National Register of Historic Places.

The cemetery’s major significance lies in the fact that it was a collaborative effort by two pioneer American landscape architects and, so far as is known, is their first joint design. Robert M. Copeland (1830-1874) and Horace W.S. Cleveland (184-1900) were partners only briefly in the 1850s before each went on to occupy an important niche in the history of American planning. Although over-shadowed by the reputation of the great Frederick Law Olmstead, Copeland and Cleveland were beginning to emerge as major figures.

They designed and arranged the original layout in 1854, and their plan is shown on a lithographic map prepared for the consecration and initial auction of burial lots held on June 29, 1855. Copies of the map and the program for the consecration srvice are included in the collection.

The site was reached from Washington Street, the road connecting Town Parish (the ancient center of Gloucester, now Grant Circle at the end of Rte 128) with Harbor Parish (then the new economic center of the fishing port, now the downtown area). The original site was ten acres in size and the landscape architects envisioned a romantic park with avenues and paths named for various flowers and plants. These were to wind picturesquely through examples of horticultural and funerary art. A pear-shaped granite erratic (glacial boulder) served as the “cornerstone” of the cemetery. Over the years the cemetery was expanded by half again its size in two directions: to Washington Street on the west and to Grove Street on the north. These newer sections continued the sinuous planning of Copeland and Cleveland’s original layout. The site is now ringed by streets and 19th and 20th century private dwellings.

An iron entrance gate with cut granite piers is shown in the lower right hand corner of the original plan. Beyond the gate Copeland and Cleveland envisioned a chapel to the left of the path and two gazebos within the park. The chapel, a Romanesque memorial of Cape Ann granite, was erected by provision of the will of businessman George R. Bradford (1828-1902). The Braford Memorial was designed by Ezra L. Phillips of Gloucester and erected in 1903-04 by the Pigeon Hill Granite Company of Rockport.

The cemetery beyond contains examples of funerary art - good, bad, and indifferent - spanning more than a century, from the monuments of Bradford and Emma Abbott Wetherall to the simple upright slab marking the grave of John Henry Twachtman.

Finally, Oak Grove is significant as the last resting place of men and women distinguished in many fields. Some are of local fame, others are of national significance. The painters Fitz Henry Lane and John Henry Twachtman lie here, so does the opera singer Emma Abbott, and Baseball great Ralph “Cy” Perkins. The graves of Addison Gilbert whose generosity privided Gloucester with her hospital, and Samuel E. Sawyer, who donated the public library to the city, are here. There are many sailors, including Alfred “Centennial” Johnson who sailed across the Atlantic alone in a dory in 1876, and Ben Pine, one of the last great schooner captains. Also buried here are prominent businessmen such as Charles Heberle founder of the Building Center, Charles J. Gray, veterinarian Andrew Babson, Francis Homans, and local dignitaries like John J. Somes the city’s first city clerk, and James Pringle local historian.

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.

The Addendum to Oak Grove Cemetery records was transferred by the Sawyer Free Library to the Cape Ann Museum at the request of John Rando, President of the Oak Grove Cemetery Board of Trustees. The purpose of the transfer was to consolidate the cemetery records with the collection already in the possession of the Cape Ann Museum. The transfer took place on Nov. 25, 2009.
