Cemetery Photographs,
Parish, New
York
Many thanks
and appreciation to Roger Smith for taking and contributing these
beautiful photographs of the Wrightson Cemetery in Parish, NY. The
list of burials for this cemetery can be found at: Wrightson
Cemetery
On September
27th, I made a trip to several cemeteries in Parish and West Monroe.
I took several photos of stones for people that belong to my Smith line.
I also took photos of the general layout of two of the cemeteries. The
cemeteries I visited were: Dutch Hill Cemetery
on Dutch Hill
Road; Wrightson Cemetery on Rt. 69; Pleasant Lawn Cemetery
all in Parish and the Nutting Cemetery in the northwest corner of the town
of West Monroe. Roger Smith

Henry was the eldest child of William Smith and Axceny Butler. He

in the town of Sharon in Schoharie
