Visão geral
This cemetery was incorporated as the Beekman Cemetery Association on September 28, 1908 under provisions of an Act of the NJ Legislature of March 12, 1890 that enables owners of private burying grounds to provide for their improvement, protection, and preservation. The incorporation was instituted by the descendants of Geradus C. Beekman and of Abraham Van Derveer, and by several plot holders. The present grave yard, comprising one-fourth acre, was reserved in a deed of conveyance of a tract of land made by Geradus C. Beekman to Abraham Van Derveer dated April 22, 1814 and recorded with the Clerk of Somerset County in Book H on page 538. The cemetery, protected by an iron fence, is in excellent condition; the names of the families interred therein are Aitken, Beekman, Campbell, Mosher, Newton, Reeve, Robbins, Shepard, Skillman, Vanderveer, Vander Veer and Vail.
