I have seen some posts lately about having a picnic/banquet feast in a cemetery. i think that would be neat to do around here with the wealth of old cemeteries in this area. this is for anyone from south or central jersey. anyone who is interested please contact me!! take photos, have a potlatch style meal and honour the dead. sounds like fun to me!

I decided this week to let Moon go to rest.
He had seemed to stop eating. I tried hand feeding him but
he would pretty much just lick at his food. So this morning we
made a trip to Foxmoor Veterinary Clinic. Thanks again to
Dr Maria Fjerstad and her staff.

This photo was taken a few weeks ago, you can see that his eyes are unfocused.

Last Night, Scarface gave Moon a good grooming, loving kisses.
I buried Moon in my garden, next to where Ashanti (calico, died 2005) is buried.

These are all part of one family plot. Those two round pieces on the ground broke off the top of the marble pieces holding the center stone.

The two similar looking stones are for Maggie and Fannie Keeler, wives of Ezra Keeler.

The reverend of the church said that the carver's shop used to be across the street where there is a riteaid pharmacy now.

First Presbyterian Church/Graveyard --Patriots Week

2009-12-31T02:50:00.008-05:00

The church first congregated in 1712. The original church building built in 1726. Torn down in 1805, and rebuilt in current spot on the property where it is actually standing on early grave sites. According to a church pamphlet:
" The second building of First Church is dedicated 17 August 1806, The building was made of brick: 48 ft by 60 ft, with a tower in front with a 4 by 10 ft spire. The cost was $10,820.00. The interior contained 72 pews on the main floor and 36 pews in the gallery. Forty-six pews were rented for $14.oo per year. The gallery was free, with one side reserved for "people of colour". During this year, First Presbyterian assumed full support of its minister. Up to now, the Trenton Church had shared the services and support of its ministers with the "Country Church " Ewing, NJ (this sister church is in danger of being torn down
http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2009/08/endangered_historical_site_may.html )
and with Maidenhead -- now Lawrenceville, NJ. Salary was set at $800 per year."

First Presbyterian Church/Graveyard --Patriots Week

2009-12-30T20:27:00.012-05:00

I went today to the First Presbyterian Church on State Street in Trenton: http://www.old1712.org , as part of Patriots week: http://www.patriotsweek.com/index.html .
They were having on-going tours of the church and graveyard and discussion of the church and its extensive history.

I took some photos of the stones, some of which are lining the front walk and others which are actually in the wall of the church. I went inside the church and the Pastor was talking about some of the historical figures who were members of the church and showing artifacts that are part the church's collection. I asked him about the stones in the path by the front steps and he said that those people are actually buried underneath the building. He was explaining that once when there was a problem with termites and the floor of the church had to be torn up and there were stones under the floor. I think I felt my heart stopped for a moment when he said that. He showed me two child's stones that were small enough to be lifted. The rest unfortunately had to be covered back up again.

** These four stones in the wall of the church are the burial places of Robert, Fransina, Abner and Mary Chambers. The Chambers family 'gave' their name to the Chambersburg section of Trenton.
