HOLLAND CEMETERY/HOLLAND MOUNTAIN CEMETERY, MORRIS COUNTY, NEW JERSEY Copyright (c) 2002 by Susan Clark (susan.g.clark@worldnet.att.net). ************************************************************************ USGENWEB NOTICE: These electronic pages may NOT be reproduced in any format for profit or presentation by any other organization or persons.

The cemetery is well groomed and in current use. Many of the older graves are marked by more recent gravestones. A number of the older gravestones are broken, fallen, or buried. The cemetery is located in Morris County, New Jersey, at the border of Sussex County. To reach it, take Rt. 23 North to the blinking light in Stockholm , turn left onto Holland Mountain Road, and go 2 miles; the cemetery is on the right. I have made every effort to transcribe the information exactly as it is on the gravestone, and I apologize in advance for any mistakes that I might have made. Wherever "DTR" is noted, the engraving was "Difficult To Read", and what I've written is my best interpretation of what I can make out. In the "Relationship" column, "w/o" means "wife of", "s/o" means "son of", and "d/o" means "daughter of". Where relationships weren't specified on the gravestone, or where a stated relationship only made sense by the proximity of the stones, I have added a letter designation in the "relationship" column to group these people together.
