(None of these appear to be in
Old Gravestones of Dutchess)
This cemetery is located on Rte. 44, Pleasant Valley
just east of the Village
adjacent to Field's Auto Body
and is in PoorCondition
Many stones broken and down - so I offer these here for
preservation, future reference and in case they can be
of help to any
one. I also cannot guarantee the accuracy of some of
these as many were
difficult to read but I assure you I did my very best
with what I had to
work with.
