Greetings Everyone, Does anyone know of a good resource to find out the names of all the known cemeteries in the Hinsdale and Peru area? Also, does anyone know if there is a book of burials that exists for these cemeteries? Many thanks, Terri

TERRI: First look at the town web sites , sometimes they show the cemeteries. There is a Berkshire County town web site also. Ckick on the town desired - possible Do you know a employee of a funeral home ? there is a book of all Cemereries in the Mass register ? You can call od e -mail the towns, i havw, and have had the "person" call me a give me help. Thye have cenetery Commissioners - they can be help full. Try to Google them Cemeteries of Peru Ma. Keep trying you will find them There is also a site of Grave stones in Ma. Look there - the stones have to be from some place ?

Terri, I just looked at the Epodunk site and see that all of the cemeteries are not listed. Hinsdale: Maple Street Cemetery- The main cemetery for the town located closest the town center. St. Patricks Cemetery - Catholic cemetery actually located in Dalton on the Hinsdale Dalton line. East Washington Road Cemetery - Very early and abandoned on the outskirts of town. Peru: South Road Cemetery - Near center of town South Cemetery - Skyline Trail/Middlefield Road North Cemetery - Pierce Road A James Hosmer did an extensive recording of the Cemeteries in Hinsdale but it was never completed. There was also a project in the 80's that recorded the interments of Berkshire County and published but I do not recall the Title. The Berkshire Athenaeum should have a copy. Any records before 1804 are listed as Partridgefield. Both Hinsdale and Peru were one township until then. If you are trying to locate people who lived west of where the railroad tracks and Plunkett street cross, then that would be Dalton from 1784 to 1804. Before that, Ashuelot Equivalent. There that should make things clear. Tee Hee These are all things that made my research difficult to track until I had the info. I hope this helps Peter White In a message dated 10/21/09 21:49:07 Eastern Daylight Time, angelostella17@yahoo.com writes: Greetings Everyone, Does anyone know of a good resource to find out the names of all the known cemeteries in the Hinsdale and Peru area?
