Cemetery Burial List
Hello everyone. I received this from one of my
genealogy lists. I thought I
would pass it along.
The New Jersey Turnpike Authority is seeking the
descendants of those buried
in a potters' field cemetery in Hudson County. The
turnpike needs the land to
build an interchange that will serve the Secaucus
Transfer train station near
Laurel Hill. The cemetery on those grounds was
used by Hudson County's former
poorhouse, mental hospital, and penitentiary. More
than 3,500 bodies may be
in the ground, located behind a prison annex and
under an elevated section of
highway. The authority will spend $3.89 million to
locate and remove the
remains, transport them to a new location, and
reinter them. A memorial will
also be placed at the new site. State Superior
Court Judge Thomas Oliveri in
Hudson County is overseeing the move.
Several weeks ago, Oliveri ordered the turnpike to
run legal ads searching
for relatives of the deceased. Oliveri said in
September that he wants to
hear from relatives of the deceased. So far, only
six have come forward, and
only one has been confirmed as having a relative
in the cemetery.
For anyone who may have family buried in this
cemetery, here is the burial
listed posted by the New Jersey Transit Authority.
Please send this link on
to other lists where interested people may have
access to it.
