The old farmland is disappearing, giving way to new homes and roads. So what happens to the cemeteries or family burial grounds? Many of them have simply been forgotten, lost in time.

I really enjoy visiting the old cemeteries in my spare time and learning from the people I meet. There are eleven more amazing graveyards to see in this volume, with most being located near a place of worship, like The Montville Reformed Church Cemetery which is still in use today, and some of them being tucked away in wooded areas far from site, like the "Early Newfoundland Cemetery," also known as the "Cuff Burying Ground," which is located next to the banks of the Pequannock River at the northern border of Morris County. The cemeteries and burial grounds we visit have been around since the 1700's and 1800's when the state was full of farmland and woods. Land owners would use a spot on their farm to bury their family members, others may have been buried near a church that was functioning at the time, but may no longer be in use today. The old farmland is disappearing, giving way to new homes and roads. So what happens to the cemeteries or family burial grounds? Some of them are in plain site on the side of the road, while others are off the beaten path hidden from view. The visible ones are usually fairly well maintained by a church, or a person who volunteers their own time to look after them, but the hidden ones are not as lucky. Many of them have simply been forgotten, lost in time, they are overgrown with brush, poison ivy and trees. Most of the tombstone names and writings have eroded away with time and have been damaged by falling tree limbs, wind, or vandalism over the years. These sacred places are in danger of being lost forever, some are already gone. Some heavily overgrown areas may be better visited in the colder months, but either way, dress appropriately with long pants and hiking boots, you don't want to encounter poison ivy, or ticks wearing shorts and flip-flops. Bring along some bug spray (deep woods off) and sunscreen when traveling off the beaten path in the warmer months. Be safe, and happy cemetery hopping!

Download or read book New Jersey Cemeteries and Tombstones written by Richard F. Veit and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2008-09-17 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the earliest memorials used by Native Americans to the elaborate structures of the present day, Richard Veit and Mark Nonestied use grave markers to take an off-beat look at New Jersey’s history that is both fascinating and unique. New Jersey Cemeteries and Tombstones presents a culturally diverse account of New Jersey’s historic burial places from High Point to Cape May and from the banks of the Delaware to the ocean-washed Shore, to explain what cemeteries tell us about people and the communities in which they lived. The evidence ranges from somber seventeenth-century decorations such as hourglasses and skulls that denoted the brevity of colonial life, to modern times where memorials, such as a life-size granite Mercedes Benz, reflect the materialism of the new millennium. Also considered are contemporary novelties such as pet cemeteries and what they reveal about today’s culture. To tell their story the authors visited more than 1,000 burial grounds and interviewed numerous monument dealers and cemetarians. This richly illustrated book is essential reading for history buffs and indeed anyone who has ever wandered inquisitively through their local cemeteries.

Land owners would use a spot on their farm to bury their family members, others may have been buried by a church that was functioning at the time, but may now be long gone. The farmland is also disappearing rapidly, giving way to new homes and roads. So what happens to the cemeteries or family burial grounds? Some of them are in plain site on the side of the road, while others are off the beaten path hidden from view. The visible ones are usually fairly well maintained by a church or a person who volunteers their own time to look after them, but the hidden ones are not as lucky. Many of them have simply been forgotten, lost in time. They are overgrown with brush, poison ivy and trees. Most of the tombstone names and writings have eroded away with time and have been damaged by falling tree limbs, wind, or vandalism over the years. These sacred places are in danger of being lost forever, some are already gone. The hustle and bustle of modern life goes on around them, yet most people don't know they exist, like "The Little Lost Cemetery" which is situated next to an on ramp to Interstate 287. Left over from an old orphanage and almost destroyed by the construction of the Interstate, until an organization took a stand to save it, and St Patricks' Cemetery that sits in an area that appears to be, "in the middle of nowhere", on top of a mountain in the woods of Rockaway. Some of the cemeteries listed require a bit of hiking, while others are very easy to get to. There are also veterans from different branches of the armed forces and different wars, such as World War 1 and the Revolutionary War. Multiple references were used to locate the cemeteries listed and I have personally visited each one in this book. I did not visit or document every cemetery in every town, I tried to focus on the older ones (1700 & 1800's) and the ones less obvious or visible.When visiting any cemetery remember to seek permission from any land owner where the cemetery resides on private property like The Luker Cemetery which is located in the backyard of a farm in Boonton, or the VanDuyne family burial ground in Towaco, which is on a small hill behind a house. Some heavily overgrown areas may be better visited in the colder months, but either way, dress appropriately. Be safe, and happy cemetery hopping!
