Per the New York Tribune of 1899, very few bodies or gravestones were removed, and during the excavation of the area to create the park's "lake", the bones found were collected and placed in vaults under the steps of the large stone kiosk, which is also called the shelter, which houses the public lavatories and a bandstand. Other newspapers report that the gravemarkers were in poor shape generally, were toppled, and were buried in the ground where they stood and numbered between 900 and 250, depending on the publication. Some were used as fill for the lake.
