Whiting Cemetery

Whiting Cemetery
Manchester Township, Ocean County NJ

This cemetery is located on Route 530 in the Whiting section of Manchester Township; it does not have any kind of sign or marking to indicate what the name of the cemetery is...when I find out I will fix this page to reflect the new information.

Thanks to Jim W. for providing this link showing the location of the cemetery.

Special thanks to Dan Britton for helping me out with some of the illegible markers.

Also thanks to Genie Giberson for this bit of history :

James Giberson was a brother to Abel Giberson. Now, the funny part was James was the one who laid out the property for the church and cemetery; but he is not buried there. James, his wife and most of his children who died from disease are buried at Dover Chapel next to Trinity Methodist Church in Bayville. James dedicated the land for church and cemetery and was buried elsewhere. Could be because of her family that were down yonder from Route 530 or the parents were or because the children had died of disease. Anyway, there sits the cemetery in Whiting which was started by a Giberson. Most everybody knows it as the Whiting Cemetery even though some of the family calls it the Giberson Cemetery. I don't think it would be fair to call it anything else except the Whiting Cemetery. It has been speculated that the legendary "Fiddling Sam" is buried in this cemetery.
