Cemetery

From "WOODSIDE" by C. C. Hine:
But few of the stones are left
in the old Coeyman Burial Ground, which lies just north of the Weiler house. The
following is a complete list of those standing at the present time (1909):
Anthony Wauters,
who died April 9, 1800
Aged 52 years
also his wife Margaret
who died Oct. 8, 1802
Aged 52 years
and his daughter, Mary
who died April 23, 1832
Aged 66 years
O what were all my sufferings here
If, Lord, thou count me meet:
With that enraptur'd host to appear
And worship at thy feet.

Sacred to the memory of Tomas Holden, oldest son of Levi
and Hannah Holden, who was born in Massachusetts on the 5th day of
September, 1779, and departed this life 20th day of May, 1820, after a very protracted and
severe illness. Aged 40 years, 8 mo. and 15 days. His heart is no longer the seat
Of trouble and torturing pain:
It ceases to flutter and beat,
It never shall flutter again.
The lids that he seldom could close,
By anguish forbidden to sleep,
Sealed upon in the sweetest repose,
Have Strangely forgotten to weep.
His soul has now taken its flight
To mansions of glory above,
To Mingle with angels of light,
And dwell in the Kingdom of Love.

Rachel Wat_______

The Lord taketh pleasure ______
that fear him, In those _______
in his mercy.

--------------------
Presently, it looks as if the location of the cemetery is on the grounds
of a company called SchiffinHaus Chemical at 346 Riverside Ave. Newark. There is
conflicting stories as to where exactly on the property is the cemetery. One source
states that the headstones are gone and grass is planted in the area, but another source
states that the cemetery is now a parking lot with the headstones being held in a garage.
