• Notes

  St. Joseph's Roman Catholic Church actually had two cemeteries that were used by the parishoners of the Church. The first cemetery was given to the Church by Peter Thiel in 1840. This one acre lot was located in the western half of lot 74 in the Town of Gates. Although usually refered to as being on Lyell Avenue, it was actually located on the east side of what now is Mt. Read Blvd. about a quarter of a mile north of Lyell Avenue. It seems that very few burials were made in this cemetery. In 1843, Bernard Klem gave the Church some land south of East Main St. in lot 50 to use a burial place. This is usually refered to as the Goodman St. Cemetery as it was close to Goodman Street. The exact location was just south of the corner of the present day Palmer and Breck Streets near the railroad tracks. After Holy Sepulchre was established in 1871, St. Joseph's Cemetery was closed. The Goodman St. Cem. was sold to the NY Central Railroad who wanted the land for a railroad yard. In April 1872, the ramains were dug up, put in boxes and shipped to Holy Sepulchre on the railroad. The fate of the persons buried in the Lyell Ave. Cemetery is not as clear. It is very possible that they were dug up at the same time as the other cemetery, but no one knows for sure. It is shown on a 1902 map as being between two properties owned by Mary McLaughlin and then in 1915, the old cemetery lot was sold to Mrs. McLaughlin. By 1920, the lot was part of a new housing development.
