"South of the neighboring Oak Tree Cemetery, North Burial Ground is the oldest city-owned cemetery within Fall River. The land was purchased in 1825, although some stones predate that event. The cemetery is still open for interments.
The Massachusetts Historical Commission refers to this cemetery in MACRIS as FLR802."

"North Burial Ground is a historic cemetery located on North Main Street between Brightman and Cory Streets in Fall River, Massachusetts. The cemetery was established in 1810 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. It is the oldest city-owned cemetery in Fall River.
The cemetery features a fieldstone gatehouse, built about 1890 and an Egyptian Revival receiving tomb built in 1849 from local Fall River granite. After Oak Grove Cemetery opened in 1855, the remains of many were transferred there from North Burial Ground, as it was considered to be the more fashionable resting place." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Burial_Ground_(Fall_River,_Massachusetts)
