Despite this, I've been keeping up with my Cemetery research, both on Facebook and on my personal web site. Here's a quick rundown of some recent highlights:
Rediscovering Sibbie - The Last Documented Slave At The Schuyler Flatts
From the Single Grave Books - Civil War Bounty Jumpers
The English Graveyard
Carlyle Harris and The Epitaph That Never Was
The Lost Ravine Bridge
Celtic Crosses
The Burying Places - Albany's old Dutch graveyards
And, most recently, the grim tale behind the Van Rensselaer tomb.
Also, the latest issue of the Friends of The Albany Rural Cemetery newsletter is out this week. If you'd like to read it, pick up a copy at the Cemetery's main Office (Route 32 entrance) or join (you can print a form here)
Last, but definitely not least, consider following The Friends of Albany History on Facebook. You won't regret it!
