Selected Index to Mildred Hook Collection, 1163 WFCHS December, 1998

The Mildred Hook Cemetery Records were collected over the years 1931 through 1935. Many of the graveyard markers are listed in the two Pearl H. Ritenour books published in 1960, Gravestone Inscriptions, found on the shelves of the Archives (929.5 FRE). The following names were extracted from Collection 1163 WFCHS and do not appear in the later publication. Researchers may want to cross-reference these two resources. Many of these cemetery plots may have been moved since the 1930’s, and may not be accurate today as to the locations.
