In July 2008, I visited Beech Grove Cemetery in the Russell, NY. Beech Grove cemetery is a small, abandoned cemetery that seems to only be mowed occasionally. It is located on Lazy River Road, just east of the intersection with Pyrites Russell Road. The GPS coordinates are: Latitude: 44.4685, Longitude: -75.15431

I photographed and recorded the tombstones within the cemetery as well as I could. Below is the inventory I developed during that visit. When a picture is available, the name of the person will be 'clickable' to bring up the picture. NOTE: The only names recorded here are for people who had markers that I could find in the cemetery. It does not include any other people who might have been buried but for whom no marker could be found. All comments can be directed to Anne M. Cady
