- Cemeteries, burial grounds, graveyards - whatever you call them, these final resting places are historical treasure troves. Richard Veit and Mark Nonestied, authors of "New Jersey Cemeteries and Tombstones: History in the Landscape" take viewers on a tour of the Elizabeth Presbyterian Churchyard and Mt. Pleasant Cemetery in Newark. Also shown in the story, Camden's Harley Cemetery (where Walt Whitman is buried) and the Trenton State Prison Graveyard. Produced by Susan Wallner for State of the Arts in 2008.
These are my ancestors, Tenrub Price is my 5x great grandfather, he and his brothers were Revolutionary War militia men and are buried in the First Presbyterian Churchyard in Elizabeth. . I have many ancestors buried in Elizabeth and Newark, Elizabeth Swaine, John Ogden, Benjamin Price are just a few names.
The use of Eternal Source by Handel as the music at the beginning is absolutely marvelous. Lovely documentary!
What a beautiful well kept cemetery. Thank you for the interesting video.

Many of the early settlers were Quakers ,I have read that they were not known to have tomb stones with art or ,some of my Forman ancestors are buried at in Monmouth county
There are dozens of Quaker cemeteries in New Jersey. Probably every historic town has one. I don’t care for them, though, mostly the stones all the same, low, rounded, small, in orderly rows. They are kind of boring, as far as cemeteries go.
@@geslinam9703 that's true they don't have those fascinating statues or interesting tombstones
Is this the cemetery right next to the courthouse in Elizabeth New Jersey? Shout out to Elizabeth! ✌️
Thank you so much for your video of this cemetery. I've learned alot. I am reminded the way we treat the deceased reflects how we treat the lifeing ie Potter's Field Cemetery.
I guess im asking the wrong place but does someone know of a method to log back into an instagram account??
I stupidly lost the account password. I appreciate any tips you can give me!

Does ANYONE notice the first two images of graves????!!!! What the heck is that??? WOW undeniable truth in plain sight... yet no one seemed to notice it! INCREDIBLE footage, thanks. (umm I think it is actually now the year j1221)

Did know Newark as rough a city as it is has a undisturbed cemetery from olden times.
The oldest cemetery in N.J....or oldest official cemetery (people before cemeteries were just buried on their land) is in Burlington, N.J. Old Friend’s Burial Ground.
Before cemeteries they used to always be buried in places like church yards .... and yes sometimes buried on their own property but often in churchyards .
@@gardensofthegods people were first buried inside the churches...the more money you had, the closer to the altar, supposedly. The churches filled up, and that is how the “churchyard” started. I guess once the churchyards filled up, people started looking elsewhere for land for burials. Many of the big old churches in Europe are also graveyards. The floors and walls are covered with tomb markers. I don’t think this was done as much in America, maybe because we had more space here for outdoor burials. The only church with indoor crypts that I know of is Christ Church in Philadelphia.
If this is a subject that interests you, look for the documentary film “Built on Graves”
@@geslinam9703 interesting i'll probably watch that , thank you .
Yes , i remember being at Winchester Cathedral in England decades ago and seeing the entombments on the floor .
The big Catholic Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul in Philadelphia has crypts , i guess you can call them , under the floor .
Many years ago i was there and they showed us down behind the altar area you go down some steps ... if i recall correctly they were either stone or concrete , i think it was a curved staircase ... the dead were entombed behind the wall .... before that was some sort of a wrought iron gate or fence .... we couldn't really see very well ; we had a quick glimpse and could see there were bishops , cardinals , whomever... down there in behind the walls ... we really wanted to go on a tour but were not allowed .
I also remember the one guy in our group saying he was told that there were many corridors of them down there ... that it was considered pretty vast .
How can that guy read woodruffs grave saying she departed in 1727 when that grave CLEARLY says J727??? wtf?? wow...
Why would Puritans be buried in a Presbyterian cemetery?
