Thank you for that name, Amy. It doesn't match to what I thought it might be, though.

Yet, that 1915 map of Lackawanna that I've referenced here before shows the cemetery(extending well into the ball park next door). So, how did they not know it was there? I could understand the section they unearthed when they expanded the parking lot. But the whole cemetery? Obviously there are pieces of the story missing or misunderstood. Either by me or the history writers.

Reason I'm asking is that we've located two graves in the old family plot in Holy Cross cemetery that were moved from another location.

I don't see any other cemeteries on any maps. I know that Holy Cross was not always Holy Cross, and went by a few other names over time, and may have even been more than one cemetery, all congregated in one place. I know of a cemetery like that in North Collins that originally were three separate cemeteries, even though they were all at the same place. Or maybe they were buried away from the family, and some where down the line, someone decided to have them moved to the family plot. OR, maybe they were buried in the Holy Cross section by OLV, but were moved to the section by South Shore Drive? ----- Original Message ----- From: Annette/Len<mailto:[email protected]> To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, May 03, 2008 9:41 PM Subject: Re: [NYERIE] Moses Taylor Hospital located Thank you for that name, Amy.

Not to confuse anyone who has searched North Collins cemeteries: If you are referring to the North Collins Cemetery on Route 62 being in three sections, it has always been just one cemetery -- but it grew. It began with the Quakers burying their dead immediately behind their meeting house but others were also buried there. When I catalogued the cemetery, I divided it into three sections simply because it made it much easier for someone to locate a grave than to wade through an entire listing and wonder where to start.
