Cemeteries take up another large part of Maspeth , although they are separated from residential areas for the most part . The Mount Olivet Cemetery , the largest cemetery in the neighborhood , is located on a high hill in Maspeth and used to be an outer-borough vacation site . Mount Olivet Cemetery was planned on March 26 , 1850 , when James Maurice held a meeting at his Maspeth house to discuss the formation of the cemetery . Notable interments in the cemetery include cosmetics magnate Helena Rubinstein Courielli and sixteen victims of the 1911 Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire
