Transcriber's note:
The order in which these are transcribed are different from the newspaper article that Herbert E. Dunham had them printed in the Somerset Messenger-Gazette on January 26, 1940. I have attempted to place these burials into family groups to show the connections with the people in the cemetery. Those underlined are buried elsewhere and notated if known.
*On Find-a-Grave there are three headstones listed as "unknown" as they are not readable. It is possible that they are the headstones for Eleanor or her sister Almira Tunison—daughters of Matthias Ten Eyck and Eliza Hall Tunison, Eleanor (Tunison) Voorhees-wife of John H. Voorhees, or Eleanor Tunison Voorhees—daughter of John H. and Eleanor Tunison Voorhees.
