Monument erected on the site of the old revolutionary 

 burying ground at Springfield, made over to the 

 N. J. Sons of the American Revolution, by 

 the proprietors of these nurseries, 

 October 19, 1896. 



IT IS OF THIS SPOT THAT BEET HAUTE WRITES: 



"Here's the spot. Look around you. Above on the height 

 Lay the Hessians encamped. By that church on the right 

 Stood the gaunt Jersey farmers, and here ran a wall. 

 You may dig anywhere and you'll turn up a ball. 

 Nothing more, grasses spring, waters run, flowers blow 

 Pretty much as they did 93 years ago."
