The parish register also identifies a gravestone that once stood in New Bern’s Cedar Grove Cemetery. A WPA survey of grave records notes a marker in Cedar Grove Cemetery for a “Daniel Montford” (d. July 11, 1838). The survey is hosted at the Craven County Lost Souls Genealogy website, http:// craven.lostsoulsgenealogy.com/cems/WPA.pdf. The marker was actually for Donum Montford, whose burial was noted in Christ Church parish records on July 12, 1838. It is not surprising that Montford was buried there: Cedar Grove was established by Christ Church in 1799, and in 1853 it became a civic cemetery. Sandbeck, Historic Architecture of New Bern and Craven County, 440. What is surprising is that Montford’s marker was still there at the time of the WPA survey. Although both black and white people were interred in Cedar Grove through the mid-nineteenth century, by the early twentieth century New Bern had taken steps to segregate the city’s burial places. Only whites were allowed to be interred in Cedar Grove, and blacks were interred in Greenwood Cemetery, established a short distance northwest of Cedar Grove for black burials in the mid-nineteenth century. In 1913, amid the Jim Crow era, as authorized by the North Carolina General Assembly, the city of New Bern removed the “dead bodies of all colored persons now buried in the Cedar Grove Cemetery” in order to reinter them at Greenwood Cemetery.
