Description	:	History: The Plainview Cemetery, now known as Greenwood Cemetery, commenced on September 2, 1878. On April 13, 1921 the Plainview Ladies’ Cemetery Association was incorporated. In September 1922, after careful review of its bylaws, the Plainview Ladies’ Cemetery Association became the Greenwood Cemetery Association.

In September 1922, after careful review of its bylaws, the Plainview Ladies’ Cemetery Association became the Greenwood Cemetery Association. Even in 1922 when the cemetery wasn’t all that old, the cemetery association had as its mission to “repair and replace the broken monuments and headstones.” Over the years, the cost of maintenance of the cemetery grew but the income wasn’t enough to cover the annual maintenance costs, so on November 27, 1951, the Greenwood Cemetery Association transferred all of its assets to the Village of Plainview. Finding Gravesites (see website): There are two electronic documents easily available for public review. The first is an excel spreadsheet that lists the gravesite occupants, updated January 23, 2009. The first column is the name of the occupants and the second column is the gravesite location (Section, Block, Lot, Gravesite). The cemetery has five distinct and separate sections: the Old/Original Section (on your right as you enter the cemetery), the First Addition Section (on your left as you enter the cemetery), Section A (north of the First Addition), Section B (north of Section A), and Section C (the northern most section). Some cemetery sections have blocks, lots, and gravesites, while other sections simply have lot and gravesite. The cemetery has grown over the course of many years, and unfortunately it was not expanded in a uniform fashion; that is why the sections are designed so dissimilar from each other. The second document is a map that is also an excel spreadsheet; it has six tabs, accessible at the bottom of the spreadsheet. Be aware that each of the five cemetery sections has a different layout and design. The first tab is the general overview of the cemetery. The second tab is an overview of the Old/Original Section (when the map is printed, the numbers become more legible). The third tab is an overview of the First Addition, followed by the A Section, B Section, and C Section. On all the maps, north is up towards the top of the screen. With this information, you can find the general area for the person(s) you are searching (see website).
