Thanks so much, Philomena. That helps tremendously. Episcopal would make sense too. Most of my Westchester ancestors were either Presbyterian or Episcopal.....except for the Dutch ones who were Dutch Reformed.

Thanks. I'll try to contact Eastchester Historical Society. Maybe I'll have better luck than when I tried a few years ago. .....or maybe contacting the Town or Village Clerk would be a better idea. After all, the first info I need is where the cemetery is located and that's not Genealogy.

I have a couple of question for anyone: According to McKenzie , Ann Smith Sherwood who died in 1843 is buried with her two sons and daughter-in-law in the cemetery of St John's Church, Crestwood. Where was St John''s and Crestwood and what denomination was St John's at that time?? Secondly, d.i.l. was named Surbraney . That is a first name with no maiden name given. I have never heard of the name and hope someone can shed some light as to what nationality she might have been .....or possibly it was a family surname given to her as a first name. Thanks, Maureen In the depth of Winter I finally learned that there was in me an invincible Summer. Camus

Thanks, Carol. I just now went to the website and the only prices listed were for gravesites and such......they were expensive compared to our little hometown cemetery but not in comparison to Poughkeepsie Rural. If/when they find anything of interest for me I will definitely post it to the List.

Hi Cathy, Sorry I'm writing to the list but I can't find your current email address. I've tried several but they keep bouncing. I need to contact you and I don't want to do it through the mailing list. Thanks.

http://www.findagrave.com/index.html Click on "Stroll thru our online cemetery" and then "Begin new search", then put in the surname your searching for. There are many pictures of headstones. Some don't have a picture but provide dates of birth and death, and in some instances, a short bio of the person. Robert S. Vail Titusville, FL

I asked when there, and they stated they had no obits, of course the gentleman prob did not want to do the work. I also asked for the plot card, and he acted as if he did not hear me.

Just returned from your area. Visited Mt Hope Cemetery. Found several surnames on my Ancestors' Headstone. They buried 7 in the same area, and used 1 stone. I know who they are, but would like more information, such as an obituary. Frank Wahlstrom died in 1936 Ruth Blesell Wahlstrom died in 1927 John Johnson died 1933 Hilma Blesell Johnson died in 1934 Helen Johnson died in 1931 Ellen Blesell Wilster died in 1965 Albert Wilster died in 1905, and was exhumed and buried there in 1928.

To Maureen & others, Sorry I must have answered Jan directly. The very kind lady in the office was able to look up one name for me, Capt A Hatfield & pull a plot card, that listed who was buried in that plot to find a location , then copied a small map to give me directions. I believe that if you send a request by mail for a couple of names to look up with a request for a copy of the plot cards along with a donation, ( a S.A.S.E. would be nice too) she could help you. The website I send may have more info and could list a fee if they charge one. If we find more people in this cemetery and put it out online it will help others, so take the time to write or call and see what happens. http://www.whiteplainsruralcemetery.com/ Thanks, Carol L.

Maureen, "If I email the cemetery will I be able to get more info on Loretta Lyon Horton, Lavinia Purdy and Isaac Smith?? I'll tell you more later because this is a longshot but sometimes longshots pay off.LOL." See my answer to Jan, I googled them and found this http://www.whiteplainsruralcemetery.com/ Try it, or write a note, I think a small donation should be sent, unless a fee is listed at their site.
