Geocache Description:


I've been accused--with some justice--of being unduly fascinated with old cemeteries.  So many interesting cemeteries in this area, most of them completely off the beaten path.  

This one is known as the Amwell Ridge Cemetery and also Larison's Corner Cemetery.  Some history copied from findagrave.com:

Extracted from "Tombstone Inscriptions From Hunterdon County Cemeteries". pages 54-73

"The tombstones were copied in 1918 by Mrs. A.B. Simerson, Jr. This cemetery is the property of the "Amwell United First Presbyterian Church." It is located on the Old York Road, a half mile east of the village of Ringoes, and in East Amwell Township. Originally it was a German Reformed Church, with services in German. The first house is believed to have been built of logs. The second, spoken of as "The Old Stone House," stood on the north side of the present graveyard. The deed for the property is dated Jan 21, 1749, from James Whittaker to William Kase, Peter Hoffman and William Bellowsfelt. "Trustees to and for the Calvinistical High Dutch Congregation, in the Township of Amwell."  https://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=cr&CRid=780051

This is a residential area, so NO night caching!  There is no need to disturb the stone wall surrounding the cemetery.  BYOP, and please return the container to exactly the spot in which you found it.   

Happy caching!
