Please help us with
"Veterans Grave Preservation" we may be found on the site:

http://www.civilwarveteransny.ning.com

...we are cleaning up the old cemeteries in the area with hopes of documentaing all of the American War Veterans buried here in our towns. With the 150th Anniversary of the beginning of the Civil War and the 70th anniversary of WWII, preparations are underway for several memorial events. Boys and Girls Scouts, High School seniors and anyone interested can sign up for community service and give back a little something to those who came before and paved the way. This is our way of saying Thank You and giving respect where respect is due while taking a historical tour back in time. Go to your nearest American Legion or VFW Post and ask if you can help.

I am sure everyone will enjoy navigating the pages of history. Photos and stories, names and dates, friends and loved ones, you will connect the present with the past in more ways than one.
A pleasure ...

RE: Cooks in Old Ellenville Cemetery
Thank you for your research. I took so long to answer as my life took a spin. I am now back on track and answering the information you sent.
If possible can you send photos of the graves

Groates:
Benjamin Groate b.1868 d. abt 1919 brother of
Louise Groate b 1850 d.1919 ( soon after George D Cook her son was killed in France) She married
George Cook (Koch ) from Germany b 1847 d 1922
I can not locate her family line. Groate.
I will follow up the names you sent me.

I am also looking for the Cooks from this family. William Cook you found d 1946. He is my great grandfather. b. 1881 d 1946
His daughter born abt 1914 d. abt 1916 from Whooping cough.
Hattie Cook b. 1878 d. 1950 never married
Mable Cook ( married ? ) b. 1888 d. abt 1922
Thank you

RE: Alice Clark transfer complete.
Laura, Thank you for the transfer.
I do not have a photo of Joseph Clark. I have nothing to compare the Civil War photo to. I think it's great to have the picture!
Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Thanks again,
Linda

Greenfield Methodist Ground
I noticed that you placed a picture of Greenfield Methodist Ground Cemetery. I can not find the address and was hoping that you will be able to assist me in locating this cemetery?

I appreciate any help that you can give.

Thank you Laura Goodman

Restoration Projects
Our cemetery has actually just set up a restoration group and we invite the public to join us and come out and learn how to properly clean the stones, always the last Friday of the month and the Saturday after, during the weather permitting months.

My daughter is joining 4-H this year and may end up making this one of her projects.

Will talk more later. :-)
