| Bio and Links | Some tough nuts to crack, cracked by a cracked nut and "with a little help from my friends" (or sometimes a lot):
John Augustus Baum (1840-1842)
Oakwood Cemetery, Troy, New York
Dates legible, but names chiseled off completely.

Frederick Biehler (1853-1889)
St. Matthew Lutheran Cemetery, Bethlehem, New York
An obituary named a cemetery by a name nobody today had ever heard of before; once identified, the headstone could not be found except by process of elimination with reference to the church's records.

Millie Levy (1887-1888)
Beth Emeth Cemetery, Bethlehem, New York
Name, no dates at all.

Charles Smith (1821-1875)
Beth Emeth Cemetery, Bethlehem, New York
Almost entirely illegible due to wear, discoloration, and biological growths.

Helen Lowray Snow (1842-1845) http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=102774270. The photo and linked story are both poetically apropos, I hope.
Laura Wise (1847-1849)
http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=103839199 No recognizable headstone, location of grave unknown, no burial records. Cracked - but not quite solved. | |

I just took some photos there because it is near the Normanskill creek where a couple of Norwegian ancestors named Bradt who were called Normans had a mill in the 1600's.
Thanks | | | Dave Peck

I changed the middle initial for Romeyn. I personally knew Jane after she married Elmer Tobin. I do not know anything about Louis Martin's papers. | | | Karen Brown

Guess what? I found a photo of the grave and I took a picture of the name of the cemetery also. I am going to scan it and then put it on Find A Grave. Thank you so much for helping me.
Warmly,
Karen | | | Karen Brown

The map is the right place. He said you went around the traffic circle and bear right. I felt like nothing was around the back end of this cemetery, where we pulled in, but just can't remember now for sure. | | | Karen Brown
| RE: Jewish Cem
You really don't have to try to find it. My Dad lives in TX and is going to be 81yrs this June. If he is well enough he will drive up, yup drive up, from TX, he can take a picture for me. I bought him a digital cameral for xmas this past year! It had lots of big stones in the cemetery w/o a lot of space. It wasn't a real driveway either, just grass. I feel it is a rear entrance, but he didn't know how to get to the front of the cemetery. So the grave is in the back of this cemetery near the fence of the other cemetery. Maybe a climb is a hill to an 81 yr old. haha. | | | Karen Brown

I had the wrong cemetery, but those old gates sure looked like it. It is definetly in the City of Albany on Fuller Rd. Dad said, and I was there about 5 yrs ago. I live in CT.
It looked like an old gate that you have to open to pull your car into, while traffic passes by you. You walk up a tiny hill on left side, the stones are right there and another cemetery is next to it. The stone was on the west side of cemetery near the other cemetery.
I have copied what I found on Find A Grave.
Congregation Beth Abraham-Jacob has three burial sites within a mile of each other in Albany County. Two of them are located on Fuller Road in the City of Albany. The other is on Western Avenue (Route 20) in the Town of Guilderland.
Situated on the west side of Fuller Road, Beth Abraham-Jacob Cemetery (Site #2) is the smallest of the three. It may also be the oldest judging from the dates on gravemarkers. The cemetery afronts Fuller Road at the new Tricentennial Road into SUNY-Albany's nanotech complex. The even smaller Jewish People's Cemetery is behind Beth Abraham-Jacob Cemetery.
Note that a much larger Beth Abraham-Jacob Cemetery (Site #3) sits directly across the street from this cemetery -- on the east side of Fuller Road.
Fuller Road & Tricentennial Drive
Albany
Albany County
New York USA
Cemetery notes and/or description:
There are two small cemeteries located on the west side of Fuller Road -- next to the fairly new nanotech complex at State University of New York (SUNY-Albany) campus. Jewish People's Cemetery is one of them.
Jewish People's Cemetery isn't right on Fuller Road. It's behind the cemetery that afronts Fuller Road -- Beth Abraham-Jacob Cemetery (Site #2). The gates to Jewish People's Cemetery are now on Tricentennial Drive, a road which didn't exist when these cemeteries were created.
