Branch Evergreen IS Most Holy Trinity Cemetery. Along Cooper Ave., in Bklyn.
It is sometimes listed as Branchevergreen, Branch Evergreen, but it is part
of Most Holy Trinity Cemetery, a Roman Catholic Cemetery, part of Most Holy
Trinity R.C. Church, in Brooklyn a predominatly German Church and Cemetery,
but not exclusive.
If u go to the Bklyn Page hit, CEMETERY, u will see a link for a map of Most
Holy Trinity. The sections marked around #22 is the Branchevergreen section.
There is a small section that was predominately for children. Very few of
these graves are marked, but there is a huge oak(?) tree that shades the
babies rest area. To the left of the map is the boundary line of the cemetery.
Above this 'wall' was a horsecar/RR car that had a stop called 'Branch
Evergreen' People visiting the Cemetery of the Evergreens and Most Holy
Trinity would get off here, walk down the steps and be at the entrance to
MHT.

It's a beautiful little cemetery, peaceful and serene.
To get to the entrance of MHT, u have to go thru a VERY bad neighborhood,
drugs, slums, abandoned cars, shootings are not uncommon.
Maybe if a petition was started they would open up the opposite end of the
cemetery that leads into the Evergreens Cemetery. This entreance is right off
Highland Pk and the Pwky.
