"Dedicated to the memory of the early Hunterdon settlers."
Dr. Fred Lathrop's Hunterdon cemeteries notebooks.
The Mount Amwell Project has received from Dr. Fred Lathrop his notebooks documenting the cemeteries of Hunterdon County. Dr. Lathrop has personally visited every cemetery. The five notebooks contain notes and pictures, internet printouts, newspaper clippings and reproductions from various references on 187 cemeteries, both active and historic. They are organized by townships into five three-ring binders. Each cemetery description includes a picture, the location (address, latitude and longitude) and nearest village or cross road. A cemetery history and a listing of all the internees is included in most cases. The MTAP is evaluating the material for possible publication either in hard book format or internet form or both. Dr. Lathrop has decided to donate the original notebooks to the Hunterdon County Library. Please monitor this page for further information on this exciting development.
