This is the grave of w:Enoch Poor, a w:Brigadier general during the w:American Revolutionary War. His final resting place is at the old burial grounds of the First Reformed Church in w:Hackensack, New Jersey, off of River Street. The Hackensack Courthouse is visible in the background.

The statue/monument erected in his honor can also be seen behind the fence, on the island in the middle of the street.

Please take a moment to read the inscription on the grave marker, which I have transcribed as faithfully as possible, below:

affected, exclaimed, Ah, that was
