I have relatives in the additional part in the Riverside Cemetery in Beaver Falls, NY. There are two cemeteries with the Evangelical Church that I know of in Beaver Falls. I believe there might be a cemetery connected with the Methodist church there too. There is also a small one in Belfort, where I lived during my high school years. I would like to see these on this site as well. Mary

No, where can I get a copy of Charles Gray's book, in the library? I know there is one cemetery, which I think is the one you are describing with ;people mostly the same last name, something like Edmonston or similar. I am sure it starts with an E. Do you have an address or marker that could help me find the Beals old home site? Dick In a message dated 10/30/2010 12:03:18 P.M.

The old Beals homestead farm was not far from there, but it is all grown up to trees now.

Thanks, I still would like to see one cental site with all of the Lewis County cemeteries. It would be a difficult task, probably involve a lot of volunteer time. Some cemeteries are on private property or you have to cross private property to get to them. For instance, there is a cemetery on the East Rd, which I think was the old Constable cemetery, it has mostly McVickers in it. I believe one of Constable's daughters married a McVicker. This is right at the junction of the East Rd. and the road going to Constableville out of Potters Corners. There is another cemetery just to the south of this cross roads, on the East Rd., about 1/2 mile down the East Rd, off to the left, through a field, which has a dirt road going to it through a farmers field. I don't recall the cemetery name, but there are some really early settlers buried there. If everyone were to list all the cemeteries they knew and someone would record them for later access,it would be nice. Dick In a message dated 10/30/2010 11:21:12 A.M.

Yes, but the Lewis County web site has much more than this. Also, there is nothing on Maple Ridge, which is almost complete on the Lewis County web site. There are probably 50-60 or more cemeteries in Lewis County, including many that are no longer kept up. For instance, Fowlerville, just across the Moose River. It was a thriving community in the mid 1850's. Nothing there today, but a small cemetery. Martinsburg has a large cemetery, in Martinsburg, where General Martin is buried. Also, Port Leyden has large cemeteries, at least two, Pinney Settlement (The road was wrongly named Penny by the State. It was named for a Revolutionary war soldier and the spelling should not have been Penny. And I may have misspelled the correct name here.) has a fairly large cemetery, which has some Revolutionary soldiers buried in it. I personally have ancestors buried in: Sand Cemetery - Greig, N.Y. which includes Moyers Adams, Hess, Marmon. All relatives. Fowlerville - Fowlerville, N.Y. which no longer exists, except for the cemtery, but was a settlement with at least one paper mill. Today, there is a plaque on the new bridge crossing the Moose River. I have relatives: Moyer, Dyce and Scholls buried there. Maple Ridge - only a cemetery today, but a large settlement in the 1850's. I have relatives there: Doody, Lawlee and possibly more. Constableville, which has two cemeteries. In the Catholic Cemetery, Saint Mary's I have relatives: Doody and Dunn. Port Leyden, which has at least two cemeteries, the Catholic one and the one on River Road. I have relatives there: O'Brien in the Catholic Cemetery and Marmon in the River Road. Turin - one main one in Turin. I have relatives there: Evans, Chapman and others Collinsville - just a mile or two from the Turin cemetery. I have relatives there: Evans, and Richter, who was one of the earliest settlers of Lewis County. Lowville Rural Cemetery. and there are five or six more cemeteries in and around Lowville, but there - in Lowville Rural I have relatives: Doody, Dunn, O'Hara, etc. I might have missed some, where I have relatives, but I have grave photos for many of those I mentioned. The Lewis County web site has even more listings. I wonder if anyone has ever made up a complete listing of cemeteries in Lewis County. It would be a good project for the historical society.

I've "rescued" an old photograph of Lottie WALDO which was taken at the Slocum Studio in Copenhagen, New York. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1890's with Lottie likely in her early teens at the time. In addition to her name, someone has also written "b. 1875" on the back of the photograph. Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding Lottie and her family: Lottie May WALDO was b. 9 Aug 1875 in Rutland, NY to parents David Theodore WALDO (b. 1 Jun 1849 in South Champion, NY) and Leonora Oranda SMITH (b. 27 Feb 1851 in Pinckney, NY). Lottie married Harry John MUNGER (b. 3 Feb 1872 in Copenhagen, NY) on 12 Sept 1894 and together they had 3 children including, Marion Carolyn; Theodore Waldo; and Rita Ione MUNGER all born in NY between 1895 and 1901. 1880 census of Rutland, NY: David WALDO, age 31, born NY, a Farmer, parents born NY Nora WALDO, wife, age 29, born NY, Keeps House, parents born NY Lotta WALDO, dau, age 5, born NY, at Home + 3 Farm Laborers + 1 Domestic Servant + 1 Dressmaker + 2 House Servants I am hoping to locate someone from the family so that this wonderful old treasure can be returned to the their care. If you are a member of this family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley

Hi There was a St Patricks Church in Highmarket that was an edifice built in 1850. It was located on Wood Battle Rd. where the road crosses Cobb Creek. This church burned to the ground on May 22 1889 and was not rebuilt. It was under St Lukes and St Peter & Pauls churches in New Boston. Records no doubt (if any) would be with St. Mary's RC Church in Copenhagen. There was an old Cemetery on Wood Battle Rd. that was near the site of St Patricks. However I doubt if there is much left at this time as it was in pretty bad shape and neglected many years ago when I was last up there.

I think St. Patrick's Church is just west of Constableville on the Highmarket road. Is this correct? Where exactly is the church located? Is this still an active church? Thanks for any help ... George

I was just recently made aware that this book compiled by Erma and Herbert Schrader that contains a vast amount of data copied from the church registers of St Michael's Catholic Church at Mohawk Hill, Fish Creek, and Prussian Settlement. Has anybody heard of this book and knows where a copy might be available? thanks, Jim in "beautiful downtown Denver"

I'm wondering whether you mean Seventh-day Baptists instead of Seventh-day Adventist. Insofar a I know there are no Seventh-day Adventist cemeteries in that area.

Here is what he said, "Pat R on the same list said on a couple occasions that she has a list of these cem.'s that is with people buried where the stones are GONE or NEVER HAD ONE (my emphasis). I would send a message to her asking for the same info." I am looking for the burial of Asahel Alford and/or Anne (Austin) Alford in the Campville or Seven Day Adventist cemeteries. You know this story: Asa was killed in Campville in 1838. The circumstances strongly suggest he was buried as soon as possible. His wife must have already died as she was not mentioned as surviving Asa. He must be buried in the village where he lived. Thanks in advance for checking!

I have several (Cook) ancestors buried in the West Lowville cemetery but have been unable to locate death certificates or other records in the town, county or state records from the mid 1800's. Would anyone know who would be the current caretaker of the cemetery records. Thanks for any suggestions. Jim Cook
