History of Greenmount Cemetery, Quincy
Greenmount Cemetery in Quincy, linked to Salem Church and South Quincy, serves as a burial ground for families from various backgrounds. Founded in 1875 under Rev. Simon Kuhlenhoelter’s leadership, the cemetery holds significant historical value. It features the Minister’s Circle, reserved for ministers of the Evangelical and Reformed Churches.
