A Brief History

     During the pastorate of Reverend A.B. Jamison, on December 13, 1913 the congregation of Alexandria Presbyterian Church voted to incorporate the cemetery and release it from the care and custody of the church.  The Mount Pleasant Cemetery Association was then formed which maintains and directs the cemetery to this day.  The cemetery is situated across the street from the church in Alexandria Township, Hunterdon County, New Jersey on County Road 519.  It encompasses approximately 9 acres.
