The Hopper Family Burial Ground

The Hopper Family Burial Ground sign

The Hopper family burial ground once sat between two branches of the Hopper family farms and was the resting place for members of both extended families.

The graves date back to before the Revolutionary War to the late 1800’s. It now sits between the suburban neighborhood in Glen Rock, NJ and one of the town’s elementary schools.

The grave of Elizabeth Alyea, the last person to be buried here in 1867

The grave of John Van Embury, whose wife was a member of the Demarest family.

The grave of Jess Demarest mostly is covered

These graves of the Hopper family were covered by grass.

Except for the last person to be buried here in 1876, all the tombstones were laid flat. Most have been overgrown by weeds and grass.

No one has been maintaining this cemetery or edging the tombstones so the cemetery is hard to study. Most of the graves were grown over or in bad shape.

The cemetery needs some work and a little TLC but still a reminder of the important part of our Country’s history.
