1 Clare Radz also checked these against old copies of Interment Books in the Troy Public Library and added names where appropriate. An adjoining portion of land owned by Troy Country Club contained 21 graves. This property has been turned over to Forest Park Cemetery. Only one grave was identified with a name, and that has been taken care of by a family member. There is no way to identify those buried in the remaining 20 graves. They are being cared for by cemetery personnel.
