Butler Mount Rest Cemetery-San Kiang

Charitable Association section. Kakeout Road

New Listing as of

2011.

This section contains approximately 100 stones inscribed in Mandarin

"Long" form calligraphy that was discouraged during the Cultural

Revolution of China; "Long" form requires additional stroke-marks to form

a letter. It is common practice in China to list the deceased's home

province and village name on the stone. Further, any name that is written

in red indicates the person is alive; black letters indicate deceased.

Chinese burial rites include funerary money burned for use in the after-life

by the deceased. Accordingly, this cemetery displays funerary money on

top of the stones. The stones themselves display images evocative of the

Far East: bamboo, pagodas and one stone "guarded" by two, small Asian-

stylized lion statues. It would appear that the stones are laser-cut granite

with set patterns; a pagoda image on both a Sung and a Tao stone is

identical at first glance, only characters are different.

Information regarding burial rites, translations of the stones and

explanation of the "Long" form was provided by Mr. Ray Chang, Morris

County Preservation Trust.

Vandalized/repaired by 1974. In 1976, many stones had been repaired

with metal straps, cement, etc. In 1986, the Acroterian team had no

associative history, but noted the repairs. By 2011, Jan Williams of

Preservation Trust observed a plaque attached, giving the name "Patrey

Family Cemetery", and reads as follows: “I give and bequeath to my family and neighbors who have heretofore used the ground for burial of their

dead, the burying ground now on my farm for a burying ground forever

and to be used for that purpose only. Containing about one fourth of an

acre.” From the will of: John Patrey Aug. 14, 1781- April 28, 1858."" There are many deteriorated stones, failed repair attempts are evident, but

the cemetery appeared well- cared for, a split-rail fence encloses it. There

are possibly graves unmarked, as there is a large void in the cemetery

between the tombstone of Jane Eliza Patrey, and the other burials.

In 1755, William Penn's sons of began to sell off their father's land in

Union Hill (Denville.) At the time, Denville was part of Hanover Township.

Aaron Carter established a farm along Den Brook sometime after 1755.

The 117 acre Carter Farm the earliest known reference for the farm is in a

1793 deed. Aaron Carter and family moved to Newark, New Jersey around

1800. Some interesting side notes: Aaron Carter served in the American

Revolution, and his son, Caleb was an amateur artist. An 1803 painting by

Caleb of Mt. Vernon (General George Washington's Virginia home) is part

of The Newark Museum's collection. The Hill family acquired the Carter

farm ca, 1809.

Although It is unclear when the first internment took place, there has been

speculation that the cemetery contains unmarked graves that pre-date the

oldest marked grave (Alice Hill, May 18, 1836) possibly serving as a Carter

family cemetery, as well. Information provided to Jan Williams of

Preservation Trust September, 2011 by the Denville Historical Society,

Cemetery c. 1850 West Hanover Avenue No No

New Listing as of

The cemetery is situated in the training area of Morris County K- 9 training

campus. Research to date has failed to positively identify this cemetery as

the Alms House cemetery, but local informants have referred to it as such

for decades. The unmarked plots are said to contain the graves of

itinerants and Alms House residents. In July, 2011, one modern stone with

a mortality date of 1996 is visible; a victim of a car crash. The victim is

buried in Puerto Rico, and this marker was once on Hanover Avenue. The

victim's family were asked to re-locate this marker to its current location, to

avoid creating a peril on Hanover Avenue. Remnants of other stones can

only be seen upon closer inspection.

Sisters of the Good Sheppard Only traces remain in the woods of cultivated plots/walkways as of 1974.
