Transcription and notes
The grounds Find a Grave lists in modern Long Hill Township
Find a Grave files by locality, not by township, so the five hamlet pages had to be read separately. Verbatim from each browse page:
| locality | the page's own count | the grounds, as listed |
|---|---|---|
| Long Hill (city_95665) | "1 cemeteries in Long Hill, New Jersey." | Old Cemetery (2579312) |
| Stirling (city_96588) | "5 cemeteries in Stirling, New Jersey." | Cooper Family Memorial (2685514) · First Presbyterian Church Memory Garden (2623249) · Long Hill Cemetery (1977108) · Saint Vincent De Paul Catholic Cemetery (1984601) · The Shrine of Saint Joseph Columbarium (2841850) |
| Meyersville (city_95796) | "2 cemeteries in Meyersville, New Jersey." | Meyersville Cemetery (100087) · Meyersville Presbyterian Church Cemetery (2170298) |
| Millington (city_95818) | "1 cemeteries in Millington, New Jersey." | All Saints Episcopal Memorial Garden |
| Gillette (city_95243) | "1 cemeteries in Gillette, New Jersey." | Volney Phifer Animal Farm |
The five surname searches and their controls
| ground | lastname=Cooper |
control | verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| Old Cemetery 2579312, Long Hill | 5 matching records | not needed - a positive result controls itself | five Coopers, listed below |
| Cooper Family Memorial 2685514, Stirling | 1 matching record | as above | Eleanor Cooper, 1784 - 26 Jan 1821 |
| Long Hill Cemetery 1977108, Stirling | "No matches found for Cooper" | lastname=Smith also 0, so the surname control FAILED; the unfiltered run returned 297 matching records and the page title resolved to "Memorials in Long Hill Cemetery" |
a real null on a well-populated ground |
| Meyersville Cemetery 100087 | "No matches found for Cooper" | lastname=Smith = 1 (Rose Smith 1889-1976), title "Memorials in Meyersville Cemetery" |
a real null |
| Meyersville Presbyterian Church Cemetery 2170298 | "No matches found for Cooper" | lastname=Smith also 0; the unfiltered run returned 129 matching records, overwhelmingly German - Amberg, Baumann, Blatt, Buchler, Boss |
a real null, and the roster suggests a German congregation |
