For those that are perhaps seeing these transcriptions for the first time, the transcriptions may give on first glance, the appearance of a great many typos, so I feel obligated to explain that the abundance of y, m, and d represent abbreviations for year, month and day. Although you will find most engravers follow similar patterns, it seems there are several different abbreviations used to represent these three time terms including: y, yr, yrs, yr's & years; m. mo, mos, mo's, and months; d. da, das, da's, and days and on rare occasions, h, hr, hrs, hr's, and hours. I tend not to use commas except to separate surname from given name, given name from date, except where found on actual inscription, same goes for the [.] (period). When you see the symbol [_] (underscore), I use it to represent missing or unreadable letters, or if a lot of letters are unreadable I may express it by several periods, such as Jos...h . Sometimes you will find raised letters such as "c" in surnames such as in McClain, or if the engraver added smaller letters that were left out and added later, when I encounter them, tend to express them, when possible, as found on the stone. Sometimes engravers will use the latin term Æ or æ, this is just a term that generally replaces the word "aged". One last comment, all actual text found engraved, will come first in bold text. All comments, observations, personal knowledge remarks added by submitter, concerning an individual, but not inscribed on stone, will then proceed in regular text. ~R.M.Sizelove~

This very large, old cemetery, consisting of several acres located on a hillside at the northern part of the city, is still actively being used to date. The cemetery is bordered by Mansfield Ave. on its western border, Warden St. on the southern side, and SR3 (Wooster Rd.) on the eastern border. It consist of perhaps over 50 sections, the older ones named Calvary, Old Calvary, other sections are numbered from 1 through 19, and additional sections, some having names, others alphabetized letters. The cemetery also contains a mausoleum, chapel and area designated to war veterans. The cemetery is owned, controlled and cared for by the city of Mount Vernon. The office is located on Wooster Rd. This is my first visit to this beautifully cared for cemetery. The tombstones for the most part are all upright and in good repair. I have hopes to add more transcriptions in the future. These readings will begin in one of the newer sections named "Sunrise". I was given an overview map by the kindness of cemetery management but can not include a copy of it with this report, until I obtain permission of copyright holder. There appears to be several thousand burials here. I'm unsure of the earliest burial, I did view death dates in the 1840's, but some could have been earlier. The cemetery contains an early Indian burial mound, and will try to learn more about the history of this cemetery and make additions to this report this coming summer.
