Wilmington North Carolina's Bellevue Cemetery

From Markeruni.com.

Bellevue Cemetery was surveyed in 1876 by Brown & James and covers 15 and a half acres.  During the Civil War it was known as Green's Battery.  The land was purchased in 1876 to establish a private cemetery for people of moderate means.

An Act of the North Carolina General Assembly incorporated the Bellevue Cemetery Company as a capital stock company in January 1877.

Bellevue now contains 30 acres.

Marker erected by the Historic Wilmington Foundation.
