The Presbyterian Church in Elmont525 Elmont Road, P.O. Box 466 Elmont, New York 11003-0466 This database contains an index of names of known persons interred in the church cemetery transcribed from the monuments. Unfortunately, some markers have been destroyed or toppled. The church has no further information on those interred, however, we would appreciate updated information regarding missing names especially for those sites for which there is no information. This continues to be an active cemetery. The church was first built in 1864, burned (which may explain the loss of records) and rebuilt in 1902 (dates on cornerstone). This was a German church attended by many farmers from Jamaica. |

Richard McCool and John Storm. 15 October 1877 Brooklyn Union Argus) 1677 - 1877 A NOTABLE EVENT IN NEW UTRECHT CHURCH HISTORY How The Ancient Reformed Protestant Dutch Church of New Utrecht began it's Third Century To-day - A Grand Gala Occasion among it's Congregation - The Order of Exercises - Interesting Relics, Addresses, etc. The commemoration of the two-hundredth anniversary of the organization of the Reformed Protestant Dutch Church of New Utrecht, to-day, was made a gala occasion by its congregation and the church folk of the surrounding villages. The present church, which was built in 1828, was elaborately decorated with flags, flowers, evergreens, and mottoes. On either side of the pulpit were the figures "1677" and "1877" in evergreens, and in the vestibule the word "Welcome" was conspicuously displayed in large letters of evergreen relieved by a large American flag, tastefully arranged. In front of the church the national ensign floated from a tall liberty pole, and near by stood an old-fashioned wagon labeled "John E. Lott's church carriage in 1817." Among the relics displayed in the church were two very old, shield shaped blackboards, on which used to be displayed the number of the hymns and verses, as they were sung, so that tardy worshippers might readily find the places in their hymn books; the first Bible used in the church, an antique volume, 205 years old, printed in Dutch; the old hour glass, which formerly stood on the ends of sticks like (??? uets) and used in taking up church collections |
