This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/RRB.2ACE/7540 Message Board Post: Hello All I am still trying to find out how to tell which part of the cemetery at the Hospital was the Catholic section. I do know that it is technically in Erie County and have also posted on that webpage. I have two photos of two different markers with the same number on each. I havent been able to figure out which marker is the catholic marker. Does anyone know of who may have the info on the burials there? Reference material? Maybe someone who worked there before it closed/changed to the prison who remembers which section was which? Maybe someone who knows that their relative is buried in the Catholic section and knows where the grave is? Thanks again for any help.

Vital records for the Gowanda State Hospital are on file at the Town of Collins Clerk's office in Erie Co. My g-grandfather had a brother with epilepsy who died there in 1917 and I located his death record there a couple of years ago. I don't know if they have burial info or other records. You must specifically request a search of the hospital records. If you submit a general request, they will only look at the town records.
