"History
The original cemetery dates back to 1851, with additional land purchases made in 1855, 1883, 1892, 1893, 1894, 1909, 1910, 1911, 1913, and 1970.

The Ursula Chapel was dedicated on August 15, 1905 and entombs the remains of Fanny and Ursula Riddle. The Chapel building also serves as the administrative center.

The City Mausoleum was built in 1980 and has crypts of all sizes as well as numerous niches.

Former Manchester Mayors buried at Pine Grove include Moses Fellows, Theodore Abbott, James A. Weston, Isaac W. Smith, Person C. Cheney, John P. Newell, Horace B. Putnam, George H. Stearns, Edgar J. Knowlton, Eugene E. Reed, Edward C. Smith, Charles C. Hayes, and Charles R. Stanton."
There was very little information provided on the markers and a search has found nothing else.
