Agness Bratt
The inscription on the old, tilting stone reads: Sacred to the Memory of Agness Bratt Relict of Derrick Bratt Age 42 years, 9 months & 20 days.
Despite it's age, there is no record of this stone in the old State Street Burying Grounds. It may have come from a private family graveyard or it may have been removed from the Burying Grounds before the Albany Common Council organized an inventory of graves to be transferred to the Rural Cemetery's Church Grounds in the late 1860s.
