Now for some history: the cemetery was formed in 1866 by leading members of the Somers community who purchased a seven-acre plot of land next to two existing burial grounds surrounding the Union Meeting Church on Somerstown Road. The Union Meeting Church had been built in the early 1800s to serve the Episcopal and Presbyterian congregations of Somers Plains, and the Union Meeting Burying Ground and the Public Burying Ground sprang up around it about the same time. These two burial grounds merged with the Ivandell Cemetery in 1894. In 1896, the Ivandell Cemetery increased in size again after acquiring land from Somers School District where its old schoolhouse had once stood, and an adjacent plot. In addition to its historical significance, Ivandell Cemetery is also recognized for the notable people buried here, including m ilitary heroes. History Source: https://theclio.com/entry/14107
