Between his house and the city gate there were but a few scattered houses fronting on the road.

On excavating the trenches for the foundation of the addition to the Market (which was formerly the Middle Dutch church) on Beaver street, in November, 1882, the remains of Mr. and
270
VISSCHER.
Mrs. VAN DER HEYDEN were exhumed, and the grave-stones under which they rested were taken up. They bore the follow- ing inscriptions :
Memento Mori. Here Lies the Body of Gertrude, Wife of David Van Der Heyden, Who died the 27th day of September, 1784. Aged 88 Years and 6 months.
Lower down and near the right hand corner is the name "T. Brown," probably that of the workman who cut the in- seription. Another stone found near by was inscribed :
Here Lies the Body of David Van Der Heyden, Who Died the 30th of May Anno Domini, 1770. Enter'd in the 76th Year of his Age.
The Beaver street burial ground had been used for that pur- pose for many years before the church at the foot of State street was demolished in 1806, and the dead from under the church were removed to this ground. When the Middle Dutch church was built the grave-stones were laid down upon the graves and covered with earth to the depth of three feet. The records show that before this, as soon as the ground was wholly occupied, it was customary to add a layer of earth upon the surface and commence burying over the top of the last tier of coffins. After the lot was abandoned as a place of burial, the new church yard was located south of the Capitol park in the vicinity of State street. When the excavations were made at the head of State street to bring the ground to a proper grade the remains found there were removed to the ground now occupied by Washington park.
