Old and Forgotten Cemeteries of New Jersey by James O'Donohue Book PDF Summary
It has been almost two years since Part One of this series has been put together.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 Burial 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. 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. These sacred places are in danger of being lost forever, some are already gone.
