C jmetery, 400 Years Old,
Surrounded By Big Plant
Not many employes of the
Aluminum Company of Amer
ica's Edgewater (N.J.) works
would be shocked to see a fu
neral procession march right
into the plant, for this indus
trial concern encloses a 400
year-old cemetery.
Shortly after Henry Hudson
?? ? saled up the river which bears
his name the queen of the
Netherlands granted to Michael
J. Vreeland a five-mile tract of
land which now comprises
Edgewater. Gradually the land
was utilized for varied purposes
until today only the graveyard
remains amid a bustling 20th
century American industry.
gf Edgewater's sheet mill, remelt
and traffic departments hum
with activity around the silent
square of tombstones.
The burial ground, used since
the 17th century, contains some
3,000 graves. Heroes from almost
all the wars in which the United
States has been involved lie in
rest here.
Although records date back
only to 1845, a popular legend
In the Edgewater area holds
that Peter Bouredette, a Revo
lutionary War veteran, is burled
here while his two slaves, Tobey
and Isabelle, are In adjoining
graves. Here also have been
burled soldiers of the War of
1812, the Civil War, the Span
ish-Ame. lean War and World
Wars I and II. Many relatives
and friends of Alcoa's Edgewater
employes have recently been
buried in this historic plot.
Though funeral processions
are not too frequent, when they
do occur, the company and the
cemetery's governing board pro
vide full "right of way" for fu
nerals and visitors to pass
through the River road gate at
any time.
