Headstone #60
Buried at St.Patricks Graveyard, Geneva, New York
Irish town listed on headstone is Castlehyde which is in the Electoral Division of Castle Hyde, in Civil Parish of Fermoy, in the Barony of Condons and Clangibbon, in the County of Cork
Established in the early 1840s, St. Patrick's Cemetery in Geneva, New York was the primary burying ground for the community's Roman Catholics for many years. Most of the 19th-century burials are of Irish immigrants, the first sizable group of Catholics to reside in the village. Presenters Eric Lewis and Emily Oberdorf have been researching the history of the these immigrants. The program looks at their efforts to find, excavate, document, and restore the stones in the oldest, Irish part of the cemetery. They share the stories of some of those buried in the cemetery and their connection to people living in Geneva today. Many stones contain inscriptions about the Irish communities the immigrants came from and Lewis and Oberdorf also share their findings on these communities.
