Wrightson Cemetery Photographs,
Parish, New York

Many thanks and appreciation to Roger Smith for taking and contributing these beautiful photographs of the Wrightson Cemetery in Parish, NY. The list of burials for this cemetery can be found at: Wrightson Cemetery

On September 27th, I made a trip to several cemeteries in Parish and West Monroe. I took several photos of stones for people that belong to my Smith line. I also took photos of the general layout of two of the cemeteries. The cemeteries I visited were: Dutch Hill Cemetery
on Dutch Hill Road; Wrightson Cemetery on Rt. 69; Pleasant Lawn Cemetery all in Parish and the Nutting Cemetery in the northwest corner of the town of West Monroe. Roger Smith at:
