    3. I have made a complete list of all stones still there, I DO NOT have it alphabetized as of yet, there are at least 100 markers there, If you have a time frame and a name I will take a look in my list. The first year is 1927 and the last is 1971 Please do not flood me with requests. There was an earlier cemetery that was moved when the Saw Mill Parkway was built which was also for the Alms house. I have as yet not found any records for this one.
