This is the grave of Enoch Poor, a Brigadier general during the American Revolutionary War. His final resting place is at the old burial grounds of the First Reformed Church in 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:

In Memory of the Hon.^ble

on the 8 day of Sep^tr. 1780

aged 44 Years

Washington, Lafayette and a portion

burial of Gen. Poor

grave, and turning away much

affected, exclaimed, Ah, that was

one of my Generals.
