Hope, Zion Cemetery, etc > > > > > In recent days there have been questions re. several cemeteries in the Pine Hill area of Cheektowaga. Here is some background information re. the Pine Hill cemetery area of Cheektowaga, although it frequently is referred to as being in Buffalo since it is only a few blocks from the Buffalo/Cheektowaga boundary line. > > >From Genesee Street traveling north on Pine Ridge Road (which is about one mile) there are numerous cemeteries on both sides of this road. They range in size from small to large and include catholic, protestant, german, french, polish, jewish, etc cemeteries. If you go to www.buffalonian.com click on history and scroll down to Buffalo's Cemeteries, you will find information from an 1884 book re. a few of the cemeteries at Pine Hill. > > > > I have walked 9 of the following 10 (Buffalo Cemetery, Evangelical Cemetery, Holy Rest Cemetery, Mount Calvary Cemetery, Mount Hope Cemetery, Ridge Lawn Cemetery, St. John Lutheran Cemetery, St. Stanislaus Roman Catholic Cemetery, United German and French Roman Catholic Cemetery, and Zion Cemetery) cemeteries, parts of some and all of some. There are at least 3 more cemeteries I haven't walked. A few have offices on site and others you have to "hunt down". Some are well maintained and others are not. > > > > Mount Calvary is the largest cemetery in that area and Pine Ridge Road ends at the entrance to their office. It also maintains and has the records for Ridge Lawn Cemetery, United German and French Roman Catholic Cemetery (sometimes listed on City of Buffalo death records as Pine Hill R. C.) and possibly Buffalo Cemetery. > > > > If anyone has corrections/updates to this information, please share to help those who live out of town. > > > > Thanks, Barb > > > _________________________________________________________________ > Your E-mail and More On-the-Go.
