History of Ridge Road Cemetery"Falls"

---

Established in 1813, Ridge Road Cemetery, "Falls" Cemetery is the largest cemetery in Greece, New York.

This list of gravestones in the Falls Cemetery only includes those up to the year 1965. The reason being that including later burials would at least double the size of the list. Four previous lists were made of the tombstones herein: A list by Anah B. Yates and published in the Rochester Post-Express beginning with the Sept. 2, 1911 issue; A list made by an un-named person about 1928; A list made on Aug. 19, 1931 by Mary T. Douglas and Myrte R. Douglas; A list made in 1965 by Marjorie D. Dows and Dr. Virginia Moscrip. These list were combined into a master list then a visit was made in the summer of 1987 by Richard T. Halsey to settle any discrepancies.
