The cemetery of the Bethlehem Presbyterian Church at Grandin, sometimes referred as the Grandin
Church or Grandin Cemetery does have three cemeteries. The first, the Old Cemetery which is across
the Street from the Church. The second, is behind the church, and the third is adjacent to the Old
Cemetery.

These cemeteries have been inventoried and are part of the collection at the Special Collections
Department of the Alexander Library, Rutgers University, New Brunswick. The inventory was published
in the Hunterdon Historical Newsletter, Vol 27, Issue 2, Spring 1991. There is no known online
publication of the inventory.

You can find information on all the cemeteries in Hunterdon County at the Hunterdon County GenWeb
