1. Quaker Graveyard Marker
Established 1721 by Haddonfield monthly meeting of the Religious Society of Friends. Elizabeth Haddon, the founder of Haddonfield, was buried here upon her death in 1762. According to Quaker custom at the time, her grave is unmarked. In the early 19th century, Quakers began using modest grave markers, without ornamentation, in keeping with Quaker testimonies of simplicity and equality. Visitors are requested to respect this graveyard and our loved ones interred here.
