5

Former churchyard of the Patchogue Union Church and later extended into the old Patchogue Village Cemetery on the east side of Waverly Avenue, PATCHOGUE. It is west of "Lake View Cemetery" (Cem.5a) and north of the so-called Rice Cemetery (Cem.5b) and separated from these two cemeteries by a wire and iron fence. At the time of making this copy, it was in such bad condition that, while every effort was made to read every stone, one or two may have been overlooked. It contains many unmarked and unknown graves.

5a

"Lake View Cemetery", sometimes called the "Episcopal Cemetery" (title of which is said to have been vested in St. Paul's Episcopal Church by Ruth Newey Smith), west of and adjoining property of the Patchogue-Plymouth lace mill, PATCHOGUE. In this Cem. is the Ruth Newey Smith monument with hundreds of names and dates of the descendants of John Smith of Coram, and from which many of the dates in this record are taken, some allowance being made for known errors. These names are indicated by M5a.

5b

The so-called "Rice Cemetery" on the north side of Montauk Highway" (Route 27), a short distance west of the Patchogue Plymouth lace mill, and adjoining on the west Cem.Sa, laid out in 1871 and donated by Miss Rachel Rice to the Episcopal Diocese of Long Island, PATCHOGUE.

Smith to the barnyard on the Durkee estate, EAST PATCHOGUE. In this graveyard is a wooden marker, with its inscription obliterated of a Civil War veteran, said to be that of" some Harry" Smith.

61

"Cedar Grove" Cemetery, PATCHOGUE, on the east side of West Lake ("Lace Mill Pond") and west of Jennings Avenue at the west end of Cedar Grove Street, Patchogue. This cemetery is controlled by the Cedar Grove Cemetery Association, formed 3 May 1875 and opened by dedication ceremonies 24 Oct. 1875, therefore it is evident that any stones bearing death dates prior to this date, have been moved in from other cemeteries.

Wicks private graveyard, northeast corner of the field, back of the house and barnyard on the old Joel Wicks farm, on the east side of North Ocean Avenue and southeast of Canaan Lake, NORTH PATCHOGUE.

102

Former Ananias Smith private graveyard, about 100 feet east of Grove Avenue, and about 150 feet north of the present (1939) barn of Emmett Clark Smith, PATCHOGUE. The bones of those buried in this graveyard were moved about 1915 to Cem. 61, and a monument erected on which were copied all the names and dates found on the old tombstones. About three or four of the old stones are still in various places on Mr. Smith's property.

110

The former Roe and Miller families private graveyard, south of Lakewood Street, between Patchogue Lake and "Big Cove", PATCHOGUE. It is possible that the south end of the present Shore Road passes over about the site of this graveyard.
