Cemeteries Bloomfield Cemetery. Brookdale Reformed Church Cemetery. Fourth Methodist Episcopal Church Cemetery. Mount Hebron Cemetery. Old methodist Burying Ground. Mount Olivet Cemetery. INTRODUCTION. There were six cemeteries in the towns of Bloomfield and Montclair before 1880 of which we still have some access to records or inscriptions of individuals who were buried there. This survey records the remaining gravestone inscriptions for the Bloomfield Cemetery, the Brookdale Reformed Church Burial Grounds, the Fourth Methodist Episcopal Church Cemetery, the Old Methodist Burying Grounds, and Mt. Olivet Cemetery in Bloomfield, and Mt. Hebron Cemetery in Upper Montclair. In addition to the inscriptions which the author personally recorded from the six cemeteries, other tombstone incriptions which have since been lost to time have been included from the lists prepared by the Daughters of the American revolution. They are: "inscriptions from the Graveyard of the Dutch Reformed Church of stone House Plains, Brookdale section, Bloomfield, New Jersey; Old Methodist Burying Ground, Brookdale, Bloomfield, New Jersey," and "Inscriptions from old Section of Bloomfield Cemetery on Belleville Ave., Bloomfield, N.J." These surveys, however, were far from complete. The information from them that is included here makes for a very small percentage of the total; over ninety percent of the inscriptions were recorded from the actual tombstones by the author. The year 1880 was chosen as the closing date for this survey because the population of Bloomfield and Montclair swelled considerably after 1880 and a study of later tombstone records would be extremely involved. Also, the use of granite and heavy marble were increasingly being used after 1880, and the managing companies of the listed cemeteries which are still in exitence have records of burials after 1880. Before 1880, records are minimal and gravestone material was most often brownstone, sandstone or soft marble; thus, their inscriptions are in danger of literally fading into obscurity. It is interesting to note that many tombstones before 1880 were more comprehensive in the information they list than the stones after 1880. Often, not only is the name of the deceased listed with the date of birth and date of death, but sometimes the age at death, the occupation of the deceased, any military or religious service, and even the means of death are also included. While this survey does in no way claim to be a comprehensive listing of all burial records before 1880 in Bloomfield and Montclair, we can get a general idea of some statistical information from the records which are available to us. The largest families with burial records have been calculated; and numbers of births and deaths for each year have been computed. This information is listed in the Appendix. Women whose maiden names were included on their tombstone are cross-indexed, and information other than first and last names, dates of birth and death, age at death and place of burial are listed, by reference number, and according to subject matter. There are 2,287 persons listed in this survey of that total number, 580 persons who died after 1880 have also been included. These persons are identified in the listing by an asterisk immediately preceeding their first name. These persons have not been included in the statistical information listed in the Appendix. They are included here only because their inscriptions were either endangered of becoming permanently lost or because another family member (whose death occurred before 1880) was listed. Some notable persons have also been included. They are: Alexander Jackson Davis, the noted architect; Randolph Silliman Bourne, radical pacifist writer during World War I; New Jersey Governor, John Franklin Fort; Charles Warren Eaton, acclaimed landscape artist; William B. Bradbury, composer of popular hymns, including "Jesus Loves me"; and Charles Tomlinson Griffes, noted modern composer. This survey not only does not claim to be a complete record of persons who lived and died in the towns of Bloomfield and Montclair; It cannot be a complete record of persons buried there. With the passing of time, many stones have become totally illegible and vandals have destroyed others. Some stones have simply disintegrated or disappeared. Some families had their own grave yards on their farms, and undoubtably, the records of most of these family burial plots have been lost forever. Some persons that died in Bloomfield and Montclair before 1880 were buried in other town cemeteries; or were buried in one of these cemeteries but never had a stone put on the grave site. For any number of reasons, this survey can only represent perhaps a very large fraction of the actual total burials that took place in Bloomfield and Montclair before 1880. This survey was prepared as an independent study project in American History to meet requirements for a Bachelor of Arts degree in History at Montclair State College. The author has taken every possible step to insure accuracy, but inevitably, in a survey of this scope there are bound to be mistakes. it is hoped that they will not cause major inconvenience to those who use this reference tool. David R. Anderson Fall 1979. BRIEF HISTORY OF BLOOMFIELD AND MONTCLAIR CEMETERIES. Bloomfield Cemetery. The Bloomfield Cemetery is located at 383 Belleville Avenue in Bloomfield. This cemetery was originated as the burying ground for the First Presbyterian Church of Bloomfield. The Church was organized in 1796 and it was shortly afterwards that Isaac Ball donated the first five acres to the Church for use as a cemetery. The Arlington Journal states that the first burials were in 1799. Historian Joseph Y. Folsom puts the date of the first burial at 1796. The Bloomfield sesquicentennial Committee erected a marker which stated that the cemetery was established around 1810. While there are inscriptions for earlier dates, the most probable date for establishment of the cemetery was 1796. The earlier inscriptions either refer to reinterments or inscriptions of family members buried elsewhere. Folsom states that the first burial was of John Luke, but there is no stone for any person by that name. It is quite probable that the stone has since disappeared, or one was never erected. One observer wrote about the early days of the cemetery, remembering that "the first interment in the said cemetery was made when it was a grain field. They had to make a path to said plot. The cemetery at that time was only half the size it is now. There was no Belleville Avenue at that time past the same. A large gate had to be opened at every funeral and closed after the same as any old farmers gate with a tug. James Ball, the son of Isaac, sold an additional twenty acres to the Church for about $1,500. At that time the Bloomfield Cemetery Company incorporated. The cemetery is now nearly thirty acres in size and there are over 16,000 graves in its care. There are nearly 500 veterans of U.S. wars buried in the cemetery; including 260 Civil War veterans. Brookdale Reformed Church Cemetery. The cemetery is located on Bellevue Avenue in Bloomfield, directly behind the Brookdale Community Church. According to local historian, Elizabeth L. Coombs, the cemetery at this site started as an old Indian burial place. The land on which the Brookdale Community Church and the Cemetery now lie, was donated to the Stone House Plains Dutch Reformed Church society in 1801 by Abram Garrabrant. The Dutch settlers of the area organized the Church in 1795 and built the Church in 1802. Apparently, the first burials in the Cemetery are for 1812. The Church controlled the cemetery until the congregation split in a bitter quarrel over the burial of an apparent suicide victim. Those who felt the individual had taken his own life did not want him in the burying ground of the church. Those who felt that his death was accidental, wanted him buried there. Wilbur Brokaw, president of the company who held the cemetery in trust, withdrew in 1920 and purchased lots in Mount Hebron Cemetery. The cemetery has since been managed privately, although it is cared for by the Grounds maintenance Committee of the Church. In November, 1975, the remains of the Old Methodist Burying Ground were reinterred here; but no marker has been erected to identify the transferred stones. Fourth Methodist Episcopal Church Cemetery. Gorline Doremus organized a Sunday school in Montclair as early as 1813. He was also connected with the formation of the Methodist Society in Bloomfield in the early 1820's (at that time all of Montclair was part of the town of Bloomfield). In 1827, the Wilde family, from Saddleworth, England, established a woolen factory in Cranetown (which Montclair was then known as). Many Wesleyans came with the family to work in the mill. In 1828, Gorline Doremus and James Wilde, along with John Moore, Josiah W. Crane and Michael Cockefair organized a Methodist-Episcopal congregation at Montclair. It may have been at that time that the cemetery in which the remains listed in this survey was established. The first burial recorded is for 1829. The exact location of the cemetery is not known, but apparently it was somewhere along the present Bloomfield and Glen Ridge border. A large square-shaped stone in the Mount Hebron Cemetery bears an iron olaoue with the names and dates of death for those whose remains were reinterred at Mt. Hebron. The inscription reads: "Remains of persons removed from the churchyard cemetery of the Fourth Methodist Episcopal Church of Bloomfield, April 1926." Mount Hebron Cemetery. This cemetery is located at 851 Valley Road in Upper Montclair. The cemetery was organized in 1863, yet many inscriptions predate the organization of the burying ground. The cemetery originally contained about twenty acres, and is now considerably larger. The Montclair Heights Reformed Church, which stands in the corner of the cemetery, was organized in 1873 under the pastorate of the Rev. John Kershaw, who also served as pastor of the Stone House Plains Reformed Church. Many early Dutch parishoners are buried here. In 1876, the remains from the Old First Presbyterian Church Cemetery of Montclair were placed here in a common grave, but there is no marker." Old Methodist Burying Ground. This cemetery was orginally located at the junction of Broad Street and Yantecaw Avenue in the Brookdale section of Bloomfield. The origins of this cemetery are uncertain. The first known burial was that of John Cockefair on August 8, 1788. A Lydia Van Gesen was buried here in 1798. Both the Cockefair and the Van Gieson (Van Gesen) families owned land in the immediate vacinity, and the cemetery could have started as a family grave yard. The Cockefair family seemed to have assumed control of the burying ground in the first part of the nineteeth century because two brothers, Thomas and John, who owned the land, split on religious preferences. Thomas became associated with the Stone House Plains Reformed Church, While John became associated with the newly formed Methodist Episcopal Church of Bloomfield. After the deaths of the two brothers, ownership of the land remained ambiguous, until a William Parsons deeded a two-acre strip of land to the Stone House Plains Church around 1850 and ownership fell to them. In 1808, John P. Garrabrant had deeded the land immediately in front of the cemetery property on the Broad Street side to the First Stone House Plains School Association. Perhaps this forms the basis of ownership by the Reformed Church. No definite records could be found because they had burned in a fire that destroyed the Reformed Church in 1910. By 1975, with most of the stones long gone or ruined, and the acreage reduced to an 83 foot footage on the Broad street side, the cemetery was sold to contractors who removed the remains on November 6th to the Brookdale Reformed Church Cemetery. No marker has been erected and a housing development now stands on the spot where the oldest cemetery in Bloomfield once stood. Mount Olivet Cemetery. This predominantly Catholic cemetery is located at 23 Cottage Place in Bloomfield. The cemetery was organized in 1910, but there are a few stones which predate organization.
