Study Find More Graves Under Garbage NEWARK,N.J. (AP)_ A potter's field that became a garbage dump contains more than twice as many bodies than the 18,000 originally thought, a new study says. And it is possible the sliver of land in an industrial area near the airport and an Anheuser-Busch brewery could hold as many as 200,000 bodies,according to the study done by Malcolm Pirnie, a White Plains,N.Y. environmental engineering firm. The city ordered the study as part of a court ordered restoration of City Cemetery, where people without the money to pay for a funeral were buried between 1869 and 1954. Sometime after the last burial, the city began using the Cemetery as an industrial storage yard, then as a public dump. It's condition was publicized last year when an 85 year old Hackensack woman sued the city after learning that her father was buried there in 1921. Newark officials have found no burial records, but the Malcolm Pirnie report says metal grave markers and perhaps tombstones are buried beneath the trash, and that it "is reasonable to assume" that there 39,000 to 40,000 are buried at the 5.2 acre cemetery, and perhaps as many as 200,000. Eugene Boesch, the archaeologist who conducted the study, recommended that ground-penetrating radar be used this fall to locate graves. Boesch also suggested that the city plant grass and shrubbery, erect a monument to the dead and produce a booklet on the cemetery's history. The restoration is expected to cost more than $1 million.' I saw this this morning and was very interested. I am looking for my husband's ggmother who is not buried in Holy Sepulcher with the rest of the family. I am waiting for a film at the FHC to see if she is possible buried with her parents. She predeceased her husband by 18 years and now I wonder if she might be in this gravesite because he did not have the money to buy a grave. What a mess! Rita
