Kay with her note book in Lakeview Cemetery May 2003.
The ski pole serves as a cane for walking on the rough
ground. The mirror redirects the sun light to make
the markers readable. The shaving cream brings out some
inscriptions. Despite my best efforts, there are markers
that are illegible.
Generally, epitaphs were not recorded. The older stones
which were the hardest to read were more likely to contain an
epitaph. It you find an ancestor in these listings, you are
invited to make the trip and visit the grave. Record the epitaph
if there is one and the primary genealogical record of seeing the
stone for yourself. My purpose was to make it easier for you
to find the grave.
This is an all volunteer project. I would like to thank:
- Judy Green for canvassing the Church Street Burial Ground.
- Monica Harris, Town of Richfield Clerk, for obtaining and supplying the
records of Lakeview and St Joseph cemeteries.
- Clyde Robinson for showing me Allen Cemetery and supplying the listing.
- Ray Nassar for his information about St Joseph cemetery.
- John Mulligan, Caretaker of Lakeview Cemetery, for his help in locating graves
and lot numbers.
- Debbie P Jones, my daughter, for helping read markers.
- Larry Perkins, my son, for helping read markers and computer consultation
including this web site.
