    3. Hi Lauren, The following info is 'from the top of my head'. My gggrandparents Senes (d. 1875) & Katherine (d. 1883) Noppel are buried across the street from the office, way back on the left. In fact, I have copy of deed filed in Hudson Co Cthouse for that one! Their son (my ggrandfather) and his wife, Henry C (d. 1940) & Stella Book (d. 1934) Noppel, as well as Stella's brother, George Book (d. 1910) are in another plot, on the office side. Stella's parents, (another set of gggrandparents) Frederick (d 1892) and Rachel Brown (d 1899) Book, as well a child Gracia, are in a plot, not too far from the office. My grandmother, Estelle Noppel Kane (d 1987) and two of her brothers, Edward Noppel (d 1956) and William Noppel (d 1965) are in another plot, on the 'hillside'. And, right near the entrance, by the office, on an island, is my grandmother's sister & her husband, William (d ca 1982) and Hazel Noppel (d 1987) Clark. Uncle Will was a character. He picked out the site years before, saying he wanted everyone going in to see his name! <g> The recent ones I 'knew' from personal knowledge. The old ones, some with death cert info, I found by going thru a volume in the office, page by page, looking for the last names. I wish the LDS could get in and film those old books. The oldest one starts in about 1869! It was just an older caretaker & his wife. They don't have time or patience to do the tedious searching on a 'fishing expedition', but they did let me look. If anyone is thinking of going, you'd better call in advance and make sure the office will be open. I had dragged a friend (non-genealogist) with me. The caretaker took us across the street to try & find the oldest plot. The stone, was either fallen & buried, or was one of a couple of candidates, white (marble or limestone?) totally worn smooth by weather. Based on other research into this particular couple, I'm pretty sure there WAS a stone, at one time.
