Union Cemetery - Intoboro Pkwy

Went to Cedar Grove in Flushing, Queens this weekend to find graves & info. In the office a very nice woman took out the book and gave me all people buried in the same lot as my mother's family.
She also told me there were three "boxes" from Union Cemetery in the lot. She said all
the bodies in Union Cemetery were moved to nearby cemeteries when the Interboro was built. I neglected to ask her when these boxes were interned at Cedar Grove.
I called today, but whomever I got on the phone today, didn't seem to know how to get that information.
Does anyone know anything about Union Cemetery or even when the Interboro was built?

By the way, if anyone else runs across this situation, I was told "boxes" does not mean casket. Cemetery said they do not know how many bodies are in a box, or who is in them.
