1949 Cemetary Visit Mystery

I bought this home movie off of eBay and had no idea what was on it until I viewed it on my projector. That was in December and the images have haunted me since. This is a piece of a family's history which they have lost, due to changes in technology, or any number of reasons. I want to return this movie to them so that they can reclaim part of their past and this is where I need your help.

If you have any information regarding this movie please leave a comment or write me a note. The quality of the youtube version of the movie is not stellar, but this is what I can tell from viewing my version of it. The last name on the headstone is Moken and the first name may be Cecelia. The name on the gravestone to the left reads Bosley or Boslet and the gravestoen on the right begins with a J. I have no idea where this cemetary may be, but if someone knows the identity of the cemetary or could even get a clear picture of this gravestone, it may help me in my search.

This film was probably shot by S.P. Moken of 306 Isabella Avenue, Irvington New Jersey as that name and address appears on the box from Kodak. A note on the back of the box reads: "Cemetary w/ Lyd Barbie (spelling is illegible) Jon Rich, Jan 49". That is the extent of my information.

Please help me if you have any additional information as I would like to return this movie to this family.

Was this taken in N.J.? If so, what was the family's name? They look familiar.

The information that I have is listed in the description of the video (click more info). The family was from New Jersey.
