INSCRIPTIONS
FROM THE BURYING GROUNDS OF
MONMOUTH COUNTY, N. J.
In walking through the cloisters of Westminster Abbey you may see at your feet lines, in brass and stone, now nearly effaced. They once recorded, in eulogistic verse, the pious acts of saintly monks or the mighty deeds of valiant knights. But, alas, like the dead whose memory they were ever to keep fresh, they too have passed into dust, and we are left to conjecture what they were and to ponder over the effects of time. It is now too late to rescue these epi- taphis, and no man can unbosom the secrets of these stones. The same profound feeling of regret that I experienced there has more than once been awakened in looking into the bury- ing grounds of old Monmouth. Here, as in the old Abbey, has time been at work, and more than one stone stands mute. This country is young compared with others, yet old enough to have a noble history of its own, and the essential element of that history is the action of its men. To save all that which pertains to them is absolutely necessary, and too long already has been the delay. While much is lost, we can, by way of atonement for past neglect, rescue that which remains, and there is no field which calls for prompter attention, or which will prove more profitable to the historical and genealogical student, than the old graveyards scattered through Monmouth County. It is difficult to realize that the fair fields of Monmouth were once covered by a forest, massive and trackless. Following the arrival of the settler, clearings were made and humble homes were erected. There were no attempts made at dis- play, no vying to outdo the other, but an intense, earnest effort on the part of each to develop his own resources. They who first penetrated here were men fitted by previous experience to grapple successfully with all obstacles, and soon they transformed portions of this wilderness into "garden spots." Many of them had reached mature age and not a few were advanced in years, so that only a short time elapsed before some of their number were laid low in death. All communicating roads were, as yet, mere foot-paths, and no common place of sepulchre had yet been thought of, and could not have been attained, even if desired, from the unopened
278

condition of the country and the widely scattered locations of the settlers; hence, as deaths occurred, all families were forced to bury on their own land. Later, those who were con- nected by marriage, or who had the claims of kinship or friendship, were laid to rest in these original plots. Still later, when religious societies erected church edifices, it became a common custom to inter beneath their shadow, and in more than one instance the graveyard has out- lived the church .* Slowly the churchyards have filled, and as a consequence the large ceme- teries now in use have been set apart. What the future has in store it is hard to say, but if the story can be read in the experience of the past, time will leave no greater trace of the tomb- stone than it does of the body over which it was reared.
Already many have gone, and with them a priceless historical note; some gone by the action of time, some by the destructive hand of man, who, in his greed for the quarter acre lot, has cast down the rails, ploughed over the mounds and incorporated the headstones in the masonry on his farm .*
In nearly all instances, the earlier deeds contained reservations protecting these primitive graveyards, but in the frequency of transfers they have, of late, been omitted, and, even when not, the occupant has sometimes disregarded his obligation and leveled them to the ground.t However, in justice let it be said that some, even where no tie of blood exists, have kept these lots in repair, and in other cases, where circumstances have made it desirable that they should be abolished, they have removed all that remained to the larger cemeteries, with due regard for those who were living as well as with proper reverence for those who were dead.tt
It will be observed that no tombstone antedates the year 1709; the carlier ones, if any over existed, are destroyed. Doubtless the first generation of settlers had monuments erected over their graves, but whether of a lasting kind is much to be doubted. The scarcity of graves made it no difficult matter to fix in mind the occupant of each, and it was only as interments increased that it became necessary to distinguish one from another. Hence the mound of stones gave place to the wooden tablet, and this in turn to the tombstone. Among the oldest ones time has made serious inroads, and before another decade will have passed many will have become indecipherable. While the record of an interment may be preserved here, it must, sooner or later, come to pass that, as the epitaph becomes obliterated, the exact loca- tion must be lost, and for that I can see no help.
THIE PRESBYTERIAN BURYING GROUND MIDDLETOWN. N. J.
On the South side of the highway running through Middletown may be seen, standing close to the road, an enclosed graveyard. In Summer it is somewhat obscured by the dense growth of shrubs and weeds, but in Winter, when the leaves have fallen, it cannot fail to attract attention. It lies between the farm of Dr. Edward Taylor on the West and the farm of the late Crawford Hendrickson, Esq., on the East. It was here that the Presbyterian church was erected, and where in turn the Rev. Messrs. John Boyd. Joseph Morgan, Samuel Blair, Elihu Spencer and Charles MeKnight preached the gospel. In time, both pastors and flock were dispersed, and the church fell into decay. At what time its final demolition occurred it is hard to say, but it was many years ago. The tombstones in this cemetery are in a singularly

fine state of preservation, owing partly to the exposed condition of the stones and protection thereby from dampness, and partly to the fine quality of the stone itself. Of the exceptions to this that exist, the most conspicuous is that of the tombstone of John Bowne, Esq., which is badly effaced near the ground level. A few others are beginning to yield to time, having cracked and fallen to the earth, but in the main the condition of the plot and the stones is better than will be found in yards of more recent origin. The oldest stone in the yard is that of Capt. John Bowne, erected in 1715-16. It is not unlikely that some were interred here prior to that date, of whom there is now no visible record.

Mr. George Douglass Tallman, acquainting few or none of Dr. Stephen l'allman's descend- ants, removed the tombstones, and such remains as could be found in this lot, to Fairview Cemetery, Middletown.

Surely more of the family was left behind than taken, and it is another instance of interference, lacking as much in sentiment as justice.
