While going through some family letters, I found an order for the T.Y.
Ward Co. (dated 2nd Sept. 1920) for a 4'2" monument at the Fairmount
Cemetery to be erected June 1921. The inscriptions to go on the grave
(as written in the bill):
Marvin Page ( )
Margaret His wife ( )
Eugene ( )
Anna E. ( )
Adaline F. (Blank) [she was the purchaser]
BTW, total cost was a whopping $329.40

My confusion stems from a note on the illustration of the stone--
Underneath the drawing is written Ananias M. Lutes (Lutz?) and ( )
Wondering if it is *on* the stone, or marking placement or some other
reference (maybe it's another relation? My g-m's middle name was Lutz)

How would or should I go about (short of making the trek to NJ)
finding out? Can I contact the cemetery? I did a lookup on the net, and
can't seem to find a contact.

Your input would be appreciated.

You have, unfortunately, a number of possibilities here. The Fairmount
Presbyterian Church, 253 Old Turnpike Road, Califon, NJ 07830 has
gravestones in its churchyard. BTW, this church is NOT in Califon, but
actually is in Fairmount which is part of Tweksbury Twp. Just down the
road from the Church is the Fairmount Cemetery. I was just there and
they have a sign posted that reads "Fairmount Cemetery Assn, J. B.
Sutton, Superintendent, 454-4641". (I think this would be a 908 area
code now).

There is also a cemetery directly across the street from the Fairmount
Methodist Church. There is no marker identifying the cemetery. It is a
small cemetery.

Hope this helps,
