Arlington Memorial Park


Arlington Memorial Park is a cemetery located mostly within the Arlington section of Kearny in Hudson County, New Jersey, on Schuyler Avenue.
Prior to its creation the ground was owned by Julius Pratt, who later negotiated the development of the "attractive and picturesque" cemetery.
The large cemetery contains thousands of graves, many of early settlers of Hudson County, including some remains relocated from the graveyard at Old Bergen Church, and from the many Scots immigrants to Kearny. There are also over 500 American Civil War veteran gravesites, including those of Drummer Boy Willie McGee and Medal of Honor recipient James McIntosh. The town was once site the Home for Disabled Soldiers, an old soldiers' home closed in 1932.
