Forest City Cemetery
Forest City Cemetery is a cemetery in South Portland, Maine, owned and operated by the adjacent city of Portland. There are approximately 30,000 burials in the cemetery. Forest City's burial records are kept at Evergreen Cemetery in Portland.〔(Forest City Cemetery ) City of Portland〕
When the land was purchased in 1858, it cost the city $50,000. The first plot was established later that year. However, the oldest grave found in Forest city cemetery is that of Mrs. Sara Strout who died in 1810, her grave is the only lasting grave that is legible amongst the slate graves in the tree line.〔 (''The history of the City of Portland, 1632–1864'' ) by William Willis via GoogleBooks〕
As of 1870, the cemetery had 24 burials of American Civil War veterans.〔 (American Military Cemeteries ) p. 330〕 It also contains one Commonwealth war grave, of a Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve seaman of World War I.〔() CWGC Casualty record.〕
