St.
Francis de Sales
Cemetery
Transcribed by Sylvia Hasenkopf September 2007
This cemetery is located beside the St. Francis de Sales Catholic Church in the hamlet of Elka Park, Town of Hunter. It is in excellent condition and is an active cemetery. To reach this cemetery drive west along Route 23A towards Tannersville. Turn left onto Clum Hill Road. Approximately 3 miles from Route 23A Clum Hill Road intersects with Route 16. The cemetery is a short distance further on Route 16 on the left side of the road.
A number of tombstones are inscribed with the Cyrillic alphabet which is difficult to reproduce on this computer. Best efforts were made to decipher the names and dates.
