Partially buried headstones, ones hidden in clusters of greenery or in woods on the edges of the cemetery, short or small ones that need to be reset upright, ones so dirty they can't be read - all problems that can be addressed! A number of the headstones that are tipped, in the woods, or so dirty they can't be read are the headstones of veterans. Some examples: http://gravelyny.blogspot.com/2014/09/a-lot-of-work-to-do.html The ones that are partially buried need to have turf removed from them - many of those look to be among the oldest and most elaborately carved in the cemetery. Sometimes the dirt and grass will just pull away or can be whisked off, sometimes it involves a bit of digging. I’d found using a small plastic cutting board I bought in a dollar store to be useful for cutting through the turf and lifting it off, and much less likely to mar the stone than a metal trowel. There’s many large stones that are tipping or are inscription-side down - those will have to wait for now. There’s some that are small that shouldn’t be too hard to tip back upright or flip, though the latter might involve more than one person. The ones that are in clusters of growth or in the narrow strips of woods on the edges of the cemetery - it should be relatively easy to clear those areas with large shears or bow saws (the kind used for Christmas trees). The dirty ones might be possible to clean up enough to read and transcribe with just water and a soft brush. I think it’s best to start by working on those issues before moving on to mapping the cemetery. The headstone “erected by Ellen Kane in memory of her beloved husband” is particularly intriguing. Somewhere in that cemetery Captain Patrick Kane is buried - maybe there? The Albany County Grand Army of the Republic post # 312 was named for Patrick Kane. “Captain Patrick Kane, Co. D, 175th NYSV. Joined at Albany Oct. 1862 as 1st Lt., age 24; promoted to Captain Nov. 1862; WIA June 14, 1863 at Port Hudson, La.; died of typhoid fever Sept. 6, 1863 at Baton Rouge, La.” http://localhistory.morrisville.edu/sites/gar_post/albany_gar.html Are there people who’d be willing to help with any of those issues in October? Any days that would work better than others? The fall colors there can be stunning, incidentally: http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=pis&PIcrid=66144&PIpi=91051331&PIMode=cemetery Chris Philippo
