Book Description
This collection consists of three handwritten letters relating to the Old Stone Church Cemetery in Leesburg, Virginia. The first letter was written, on 24 March 1896 by Thomas Henderson (9 June 1822- 26 August 1898) to R.B. Fishburne regarding the suggestion of removing certain tombstones from the cemetery. The Letter was a single sheet folded to make four pages, with “Northern M.E. Church” written on the back. The second letter, April 1897, was written for and signed by friends and relatives of individuals buried at the cemetery to the “Quarterly Conference” of the Methodist Episcopal Church and the trustees holding title of the church property of Leesburg, Virginia. It was written on the back of three bank notes from “The Peoples National Bank”. The third letter, written on 03 May 2003, by Yvonne Jenkins to Betty Seccombe, is on a modern piece of stationary. Betty was living at her Grandfather R.B. Fishburne’s house or the parsonage, when she received this letter which asked her to bring photos to the Thomas Balch Library. There is no record of the photos in the library. All three letters have been transcribed.

New Jersey Cemeteries and Tombstones
Author: Richard F. VeitPublisher: Rutgers University Press
ISBN: 0813545668
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 345
Book Description
From the earliest memorials used by Native Americans to the elaborate structures of the present day, Richard Veit and Mark Nonestied use grave markers to take an off-beat look at New Jersey’s history that is both fascinating and unique. New Jersey Cemeteries and Tombstones presents a culturally diverse account of New Jersey’s historic burial places from High Point to Cape May and from the banks of the Delaware to the ocean-washed Shore, to explain what cemeteries tell us about people and the communities in which they lived. The evidence ranges from somber seventeenth-century decorations such as hourglasses and skulls that denoted the brevity of colonial life, to modern times where memorials, such as a life-size granite Mercedes Benz, reflect the materialism of the new millennium. Also considered are contemporary novelties such as pet cemeteries and what they reveal about today’s culture. To tell their story the authors visited more than 1,000 burial grounds and interviewed numerous monument dealers and cemetarians. This richly illustrated book is essential reading for history buffs and indeed anyone who has ever wandered inquisitively through their local cemeteries.
