I do not know how to use this site properly. That is why I started the article on here years ago and it was deleted. The cemetery was started in 1854 not is 1849 as incorrectly stated in past writings. 98.109.253.145 (talk) 23:00, 17 May 2013 (UTC)

Date of founding
Below posted on my talk page. Shifted here since user does not have one:
 * The cemetery information stated in Middleton, Kathleen M (2000), Bayonne Passages book is incorrect. I have the source material to prove this.  Please undo your deletion of my contributed information for this article or collaborate with me to include what is fact.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cmyname (talk • contribs) 20:44, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

Below cut from article:
 * One of the first inaccuracy's of researching the Constable Hook Cemetery, is the stated year of which it was created. The following text was stated in the book "Bayonne Passages" on page 86. "Historian Virgina Brown found that James Van Buskirk had opened this public cemetery in 1849". That statement was most likely derived from a newspaper article that was publish Nov 7th, 1984 in which the author, Genie K. Brown wrote "James J. Van Buskirk (1791-1856), of the sixth generation of early Dutch settlers in Bayonne, laid out the Constable Hook Cemetery in 1849 after this area was scourged by a cholera epidemic." The Author most likely interpreted the following text incorrectly, which is from Royden Page Whitcombs' 1904 book titled "First History of Bayonne". Whitcomb states on page 59 "In 1849, the dreaded cholera again broke out and was not checked until numerous deaths had resulted from it. In consequence, "Cobby" James Van Buskirk, of the Hook, laid out the new burial grounds on Constable Hook, East Twenty- second Street and Avenue I." It was not until some years later on December 9th 1854 that a map was filed with The County of Hudson which depicted the two hundred and ten cemetery plots, locations and path names of this cemetery.

Unclear what editor is trying to say or do here.The cemetery opened in 1849 or 1854? Djflem (talk) 21:17, 12 May 2013 (UTC)
