Originally interred at the Reformed Dutch Church Cemetery in Albany. When the cemetery was removed all interments were relocated to Albany Rural Cemetery.
Dominie Pieterus Hendricus Van Driessen was actually born in Coevorden, Drenthe, Netherlands. Belgium split from the Netherlands in 1830. The word "Dominie " is a Scots language and Scottish English term for a Scottish schoolmaster usually of the Church of Scotland and also a term used in the US for a minister or pastor of the Dutch Reformed Church. Since he was buried in the Dutch Reformed Church I would say he was a Pastor.
