The DeWolf-Haring family cemetery sits on a homeowners front yard
The DeWolf-Haring Cemetery is one of the most unusual of the small cemeteries in Bergen County that I have seen. It sits right in front of someone’s front yard.
The cemetery probably at one time sat at the very edge of the farmland which is now a golf club and a neighborhood of McMansions. It shows the progress of the area as the farmland was sold off.
My International Marketing class at Bergen Community College recently did a complete study and marketing plan for the “Bergen250” on the Revolutionary War veterans buried at graveyards and cemeteries all over Bergen County, NJ:
The project:
For a Mapping of all the historic graveyards and cemeteries, I had the students visit all the sites that the Daughters of the American Revolution had researched and I had the students find all the locations, photo the tombstones and create a bio on each of the veterans. I enclosed a copy of their work above.

The gravesite of John Haring
The DeWolf-Haring family; grandparents and grandson
It was interesting that the last person buried here was the wife of Martin DeWolf’s grandson. I am still trying to figure out how they had funeral services on the edge of someone’s front lawn.

The cemetery is nicely maintained and treated with great respect. I am not sure by either the town or the homeowner.
