Description: Abraham Clark, a notable signer of the Declaration of Independence, is interred in the Rahway Cemetery in Rahway, New Jersey. Born on February 15, 1726, in Elizabethtown (now Elizabeth), New Jersey, Clark was a dedicated public servant and a fervent advocate for American independence. He served in various capacities, including as a member of the Continental Congress from 1776 to 1778 and again from 1780 to 1783. Despite facing personal hardships, including the capture and imprisonment of his two sons by the British, Clark remained steadfast in his commitment to the revolutionary cause. His grave, marked by a modest headstone, stands as a testament to his enduring legacy and the pivotal role he played in the founding of the United States.
