Castner-Compton Cemetery, Martinsville, Somerset County, New Jersey. Bandana Girl from Findagrave wrote on June 2, 2018: "I believe I have found Mary E. Kershaw's burial place in the same cemetery as her mother ... Castner Compton in NJ. She was married to George W. Remer and is on Findagrave under the name Mary E. Remer. and there is a stone showing her maiden name as well. Sarah O. Kershaw never had a stone, but was buried to the north of her daughter and son-in-law at the Castner-Compton Cemetery. Got this info from the Somerset County Historical Society. Also, there is a Sarah Kershow living with George and Mary Remer in the 1885 census. I did not find her in any of the other censuses for them however." Mabel Van Nostrand's letter reads as follows: "May 27, 1943 ... My great-grandmother, Sarah Oldrin Kershaw (b. Aug. 15, 1815; m. Abram Kershaw Feb. 11, 1836; d. Nov. 22, 1894), lies in an unmarked grave, I think, just north of the Remer graves. She was the mother of Mary E. Kershaw, who was the wife of George W. Remer. My great-grandfather, Abram Kershaw (b. Oct. 23, 1813; d. Oct. 9, 1854) is not buried beside his wife. He, with his nephew Wm. Duryea (the Glen Cove, L.I., Starch Co. family), left New York during the gold rush to seek their fortunes in California. Great-grandfather died on the ship just as it reached San Francisco. I have several letters he wrote to my great-grandmother while on the voyage around the Horn, also the letter written by Wm. Duryea telling of his sudden death. … Sincerely, Mabel Van Nostrand".
