The marker pictured is from a
Monmouth County, NJ cemetery listing Nicholas Van Wickle, 1867-1959. Formerly
there was some doubt as to which Nicholas this was. Howver, Terry Berntson,
granddaughter of Nicholas^9 indicates that her brother Homer and she had the
marker made and placed there. Nicholas was not buried by the Van Wickle
headstone in photo below because there was no room and it was a Catholic burial
grounds. via 2 Oct 2011 email from Terry

2 Oct 2011 email from Terry Berntson, granddaughter of Nicholas^9 Van Wickle... Terry remembers well his [Nicholas] brother, "Uncle Al" and also his wife "Aunt Emma". As kids she and her brother Homer would love to visit Aunt Emma. She would always have a treat for us. The horse shoes and the shop was a world of things we were completely spellbound by. I am the last of my generation and love to share stories I remember of them. There was a small creek that ran aside the shop and we were always drawn to that, much to our mother's fear that something would happen to us.
