Dear List Members: My husband took me today to a very, very old cemetery located on River Road, in Ulster Park, Town of Esopus, Ulster County, New York.  Needless to say it was a very exciting experience.  I did take some photos of old headstones and would be more than willing to share these photos and/or try to find headstones of relatives of anyone interested.  Some pictures that I did take (just a few examples): Lyman-Elmore, 1781-1849 Terpenning, 08/30/1843 (14 days old) (yes this is how the surname is on headstone) Schryver, 07/02/1862 Norris, 1862-1942 Terpening, 187?-1949 & 1863-1942 Degraff-Bedford, 03/14/1868 (72 yrs, 5 mo., 19 days old) Hammond, 09/12/1854 Eckert, ?-1900 Houghtaling, 1815-1864 Many headstone were worn too much to be able to read, others where just a 'handmade' type headstone with just initials, etc., and many were just worn from age. This cemetery is about 1/2 mile back in a wooded area, with a right-of-way to it.  This right-of-way may be taken away due to a company wanting to build homes in that area & they have a no trespassing sign posted (needless to say, we did not pay attention to it) - the company is Lighthouse Bluff LLC.  I will be in contact with the Planning Board of the Town of Esopus regarding this cemetery! I do want to note that I have NO relations at this cemetery, nor does my husband, but feel that those put to rest there should be left to rest and that the cemetery should be treated with respect and it is historical (as far as I am concerned).  (Any help or suggestions as to what to do about this would be appreciated.) Should you want a photo or one taken due to relations, please let me know off list.  Any help with the preservation of this cemetery can be answered on list, as it may be helpful to others.
