My grandfather, ,Ralph C Kirkman of Brooklyn NY, was reportedly the founder of a paupers’ cemetery in the Cape Cod area. The family spent some summers there. It would have most probably been during the early 20th century. Grandfather was a philanthropist and privately sent some young friends through college, among other charitable deeds.
He was part of the Kirkman family that established and operated Kirkman Soap Company in DOMA Brooklyn NY.
Thank you for any information you might find regarding this cemetery.
