I found this while out geocaching in Marlton & Cherry Hill. This is yet another lone gravestone that appears to be out of place. I was warned to be careful with this one because either side of it is private property. This turned out to be quite true;...
Pratt Rock was to have been the tomb for Zadock Pratt, who was a very wealthy tanner and congressman. Many things are carved into the rock, including his face, a horse, names of his children, and his birth date. There is a small doorway where the tomb was...
I’ve known about this place for years. Why I took this long to visit it I’ll never know. Not many know a member of the Lincoln family (yes, as in Abraham Lincoln) is buried in NJ. Deborah, our 16th president’s great-grand aunt, was only 3 when she died...

Mercy Brown is one of America’s most famous ‘vampires’. Her family had a long history of being killed by consumption, and Mercy was no exception. After her death in 1892, members of her family were still being claimed by it. Since it was attacking just the Brown family,...
