Cu4rently in use. <br />6. 9 acres - known as the Gifford Cemetery - located on Lindsey <br />Road. Currently in use. <br />7. 10 acres - known as the Vero Beach Burial Park, Inc. This is <br />located on North Gifford Road, west of Middle Seven School. <br />Not currently in use. <br />8. 2 acres - commonly known as the Town of Indian River Shores <br />Cemetery - privately owned. Currently in use. <br />9. 26.51 acres - comprised of five tracts - known as Crestlawn <br />Cemetery and owned by the City of Vero Beach. Currently in <br />use. <br />10. 1.21 acres - commonly known as Oslo Cemetery, located on Old <br />Dixie Highway just South of the Tabernacle Baptist Church. <br />Currently in use. <br />Several longtime residents of Roseland maintain that there was <br />a small private cemetery known as Cain. Cemetery on the West side of <br />Powerline Road in Roseland, At this time I have been unable to lo- <br />cate this cemetery and there is some confusion because there is an- <br />other Cain Cemetery North of the Sebastian River in Brevard County. <br />I will continue to research this. <br />No definite title has been established for the Roseland or <br />Fellsmere Cemeteries as I will have to go to St. Lucie County to <br />search the records and in the case of the Roseland Cemetery, which <br />is in Fleming Grant, I probably will have to go to Brevard County <br />to search their records. The two local abstract companies could not <br />help me on these two cemeteries. <br />All this in"ormation and any additional information will be <br />compiled and put in Atlas form which will be located in the County <br />Administrator's office. <br />NOV 31976 <br />oaf 27 1� <br />
