Constable Hook Cemetery : ウィキペディア英語版 | Constable Hook Cemetery Constable Hook Cemetery is the name used to refer to two cemeteries on Constable Hook in Bayonne, New Jersey, the extant Bayonne Constable Hook Cemetery and the no longer existing Van Buskerck Family Burial Ground. Both were founded by members of the van Buskirk family, descendents of the cape's first settler, Pieter Van Buskirk. In 1906 the Standard Oil Company purchased the family land to expand their refinery, already the largest in the world at the time. Myths and historical inaccuracies have led to confusion about the two burial grounds. ==Bayonne Constable Hook Cemetery==
James J. Van Buskirk (1791-1856), of the sixth generation of early Dutch settlers in Bayonne, laid out a cemetery in 1849 during a cholera epidemic which had struck the area. In 1854 Van Buskirk wrote a will and mentioned of his land situated at Constable Hook off East 22 Street was to be reserved for the cemetery. Many prominent Bayonne residents were buried there. It was later enclosed by oils tanks of Tide Water Oil Company.〔 The official name of the cemetery is not known, but it was often referred to in documents as "Hook Cemetery", "Bayonne Cemetery", "Constable Hook" et al. It is currently called "The Bayonne Constable Hook Cemetery". Today part of the cemetery still exists due to a restoration project of the 1980s. The cemetery is surrounded by property owned by International Matex Tank Terminal,〔( IMTT - Bayonne, New Jersey )〕 which owns about 600 acres on the hook.〔http://www.nj.com/hudson/index.ssf/2012/06/biox_reaches_deal_for_new_plan.html〕 Some remains were relocated to the Moravian Cemetery on Staten Island. There are approximately 140 headstones.〔 Information about the graves prior to the 1880s is incomplete.〔〔(Bayonne Constable Hook Cemetery 232 E 22nd St Bayonne, New Jersey Graveinfo: Constable Hook burial list )〕
