It was the largest marine hospital in the nation. The medical division (which was active both in the hospital and the Great Hall, was staffed by uniformed military surgeons."

	Cemetery: Cedar Lawn, Carr family plots This diagram was provided by the cemetery staff to assist visitors in locating grave sites. Since the diagram is not wholly legible, visitors must first locate the grave site numbers on a larger diagram in the office - which itself requires the use of a magnifying glass. The star on the lower portion is the site of the office, while the two red dots on the right-hand portion indicate the general location of two Carr family plots: 1) the left-hand site is a without a monument, although there are two headstones; one for William A Carr and one for Elizabeth Chapman Carney (plot 164); 2) the right-hand site adjacent to Union Avenue has a single monument engraved with four names across the base: Ella, Ada, Adam and Sarah. The main entrance to the cemetery is from McLean Blvd (Route 20) which runs between the cemetery and the Passaic River.
	Carr: Cedar Lawn Cemetery burial card (back) Two of the interments appear to have been exhumed (Ex.): Eliza A Carr and Elizabeth D Chapman Carr. Minnie and Marion are spellings that do not match other family documents but otherwise match dates of death/burial. Elizabeth Drury has not been identifed as of September, 2012; nor has Ameila M Donnelly.
