I don’t know of any, but they could be hiding in some dusty place. It’s lucky that even the few years were copied in 1915. I’ll post the photos of the Vital Records of Rensselaer County, New York Births tomorrow. I’m not planning to transcribe them myself as I have a number of other things taking priority at the moment. The Journal of Proceedings of the Rensselaer County Board of Supervisors has some interesting bits, e.g. the Superintendent of Burials of Indigent Soldiers, Sailors and Marines of All Wars’ September 30, 1926 report included in part: > In Oakwood Cemetery, in the soldiers’ lot, there are eleven graves unmarked. The Trustees will not allow marble stones to be placed there as those formerly furnished were granite stone and they want all stones in the lot to be uniform. > St. Agnes’ Cemetery will not allow marble stones to be erected as they only use granite there. If your honorable body wishes to provide stones for the soldiers whose graves are unmarked in Oakwood and St. Agnes’ cemeteries it will be necessary to make a contract with someone who deals in granite as they present contractor does not handle granite. > In the Rural Cemetery the headstones furnished by the government will not be received as there is quite a difference in the dimensions.
