Gurnee Family Cemetery
Rockland County, New York

Contributed by Brian Belanger, Feb 11, 2001 [bmbel@optonline.net]. Total records = 17.

The following directions and tombstone inscriptions were given to me by Janet Seifried who surveyed the cemetery in 1940. She stated that she recorded 17 stones, although there are likely more. The Gurnee Family Cemetery is located about 250 feet northeast of the historic home once owned by Francis Gurnee. The house is located off South Mountain Road in Ramapo, Rockland County, New York.
