The Rahway Cemetery


At the time of the Revolutionary War the Borough of Elizabeth, in Essex County, included Westfield and Rahway. It was not until 1794 that Westfield was set off from Elizabeth. On the old post road run- ning from Elizabethtown to Rahway, then in Essex County, was the home farm of Abraham Clark, New Jersey's indomitable representa- tive in the Continental Congress, and a Signer of the Declaration of Independence.


In the old part of Rahway Cemetery, on St. George's Avenue, facing east, stand the headstones marking the graves of Abraham Clark and Sarah, his wife-facing the highway where the tide of traffic between New York and Philadelphia whirls by unceasingly, day after day.


Lately the headstones have been straightened to permit of a granite base being placed under them. Through more than a century and a quarter of winter snows and summer suns the old red sandstone monuments have stood, their quaint inscriptions still quite legible. About nine feet east of the Signer's headstone stands, in good con- dition, the ancient headstone over the grave of his father, Judge Thomas Clark, who died September 11, 1765. In the same row, southward, following a vacant space where doubtless stood other monuments long since crumbled and fallen, are the headstones of "Cavalier, ye son of Abraham and Sarah Clark, junrs," and of Captain Abraham Clark, the Signer's uncle, "who departed this life Sept. 26th, 1765, in the 63rd year of his age."


South of the old cedar tree, in the same row with the headstones of Abraham and Sarah, stands the monument of their son, inscribed: "In memory of Capt. Thomas Clark who died May the 13th, 1789, in the 37th year of his age."


Thus a national interest attaches to this old graveyard of the First Presbyterian Church of Rahway. Located on the bank of the Rahway River, it has been in existence since 1741. Many of the patriots of the Revolutionary period are buried there. ("Rahway Cemetery In- scriptions," by George W. Thomas.) In the newer part of the ceme- tery, about two hundred feet southwesterly from the grave of Abraham Clark, stands a monument erected to his memory in the year 1848, by the citizens of Rahway and vicinity. It is a plain obelisk, twenty-two feet high, as shown in the accompanying illustration.


When Abraham Clark died, in 1794, he left surviving him his widow, Sarah, who remained in possession of the home farm until her death ten years later; four younger children; and his eldest son, Aaron Clark. As captain of a company of Essex County Militia, Aaron Clark had served throughout the period of the Revolutionary War, and subsequently as a rifleman on the Pennsylvania frontier.

The Signer's second son, Thomas Clark, was a Captain of Artil- lery in the Continental Army, and served immediately under General Washington in the Battles of Trenton and Princeton. On his head- stone in the Rahway Cemetery, adjoining the Signer's grave, is carved the date of his death. (From "Abraham Clark: Signer of the Dec- laration of Independence." Published by the Pioneer Press, San Francisco, 1923.)


The home farm of Abraham Clark, the Signer, where he was born and lived and died; where his patriot sons, Aaron Clark and Thomas Clark, were born and passed their youth this site is now incorpor- ated within the limits of the Borough of Roselle. There, on the east side of the old Wheatsheaf Tavern Road, at the intersection of the present Chestnut Street and Ninth Avenue, the Sons of the Amer- ican Revolution have erected a monument-a massive granite boulder-as a further tribute to the memory of New Jersey's dis- tinguished representative, Abraham Clark.


Questions of Life


I am: how little more I know! Whence came I? Whither do I go? A centered self, which feels and is; A cry between the silences; A shadow-birth of clouds at strife With sunshine on the hills of life; A shaft from Nature's quiver cast Into the Future from the Past; Between the cradle and the shroud, A meteor's flight from cloud to cloud. -John Greenleaf Whittier.
