https://http//www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~nyrensse/troybury.htm I went through some of the microfilm reels today, starting to transcribe some of the Rensselaer County Almshouse/County Farm/House of Industry Cemetery interments. There’s probably hundreds of people buried there, if not thousands. Ulster County’s Almshouse Cemetery is known to have had upwards of 1,500. Rensselaer County Farm Cemetery (Defunct) http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=cr&CRid=2538887 The “Mt. Ida” books have some interment records for cemeteries outside of Troy and some outside of New York. Among the former, there’s some for the old Cohoes City Cemetery and Calvary Cemetery in Cohoes. There might not be burial records for those two anywhere else. There’s some for cemeteries whose location is not entirely clear. Someone was buried in “Pudge Koons Ground”, evidently a family cemetery somewhere? Maybe Warren Broderick would know. A William Schermerhorn was buried at “Albia family grounds”, but I don’t know of any family cemeteries extant there today. Some interment records have notes. Shelton Felton, d. Dec 1851, is noted to have drowned in a well and had been a veteran of the War of 1812. He’s buried in Mount Ida Cemetery, though I don’t think a headstone for him has ever been noted there. John C. Guier, d. Dec 1851, accidentally shot himself while hunting near Mt. Ida Cemetery, where he is now buried. Chris Philippo

I had learned of the well drowning just a few months ago in the West Troy Advocate project. Now I know where he's buried! His name was actually Skelton Felton, the "Skelton" ​being an old family name passed down from Samuel Skelton, the first minister of Salem, Mass. He is my 3G grandfather. We've had fun with the name. I and my siblings all have bath towels allegedly from the Skelton Felton Hilton. He had a finger shot off at the Battle of Sackett's Harbor in the War of 1812.
