Notes

Christian S. Bouck, Died March 11 1910, 89 years-2 mo.-3 days interred department "k" lot #756 on the southern half. Christian is my gr-gr grandfather lived in Cobleskill and was a wagon maker. James Jimenez

I met with William McGovern of The Cobleskill Rural last May because the Bouck plots had no stones on them and he was very helpful in Finding Christian Bouck's grave and now his wife's and daughter's and her husband, so here they are. Catherine King Bouck sec. K lot 755 David Drummon sec. K lot 754 and his wife Kate Bouck Drummon. The only grave with a stone is Kate's. I found Mr McGovern a man of a lot of concern for the job he does on the cemetery. James Jimenez
