Col. Gillam Van Houten   - From 1908 Van Houten Post 3 booklet

  Col. Gillam Van Houten, after whom this post is named, was born in Bergen County, Sept. 13, 1819.  Successful in business, he took an active interest in the militia of New Jersey, and when the war for the Union occurred, offered his services to the Governor, who commissioned him Colonel of the Twenty-First New Jersey Volunteers.  The Regiment, under the careful tuition of Col. Van Houten, rapidly acquired the duties and discipline of trained soldiers.  May 4th 1862, while leading his regiment in the battle of Chancellorsville, he was fatally wounded.  Dying the next morning, his body was sent inside the Federal lines and carried back to his native State, being buried on Goffle Hill, Bergen County.  This Post has frequently visited the grave, and held suitable services
