U.S. General Hospital at Beverly, NJ* Learn the history of the U.S. General Hospital and Cemetery at Beverly, NJ. During the Civil War, numerous Pennsylvania and New Jersey towns that lined the Delaware River provided support services for the Union. Several military hospitals cared for wounded troops. Soldiers not well enough to return to active duty, but not needing intensive medical care, stayed at Beverly's convalescent hospital. In 1864, the U.S. government purchased a small one-acre plot to bury those who died at the hospital. From 1936 through 1951, the cemetery expanded and now totals 64 acres. Interments number more than 40,000, and include veterans from the Revolutionary War, Civil War, World War II, and the Vietnam War. Presented by William E. Hughes. *These programs are made possible in part by funds from the New Jersey Historical Commission, a division of the Department of the State, and the Cultural & Heritage Commission at Rowan College at Gloucester County. |
