Elmwood Cemetery

South Street Cemetery is actually five distinct -- and individually owned and stewarded -- cemeteries, two of which are owned by the City of Portsmouth.  Those two are Cotton Cemetery and Elmwood Cemetery, both situated between the Clough Drive recreation field and one of the other three private burial sites, Proprietors Cemetery. The other two privately-maintained locations are Harmony Grove and Sagamore.

Elmwood Cemetery was established in 1859. There are twelve burials in Elmwood Cemetery, located at the far end of Cotton Cemetery, between Proprietors and privately-owned land
