MORE Poughkeepsie Rural Cemetery Tombstone Inscriptions

Family Ties are Lasting Bonds Woven in Each Heart
To Keep a Family Close in Thought Together or Apart

(My "Slogan" is taken from a bronze placque on the Whittier Mausoleum atop "Lovers Leap" in the Poughkeepsie Rural Cemetery - You should visit sometime and catch the breathtaking views from this beautiful spot overlooking the magnificent Hudson River. Peace, Serenity & Beauty await you just seconds from the madness of Rte. 9) These pictures are taken from a Poughkeepsie Rural Cemetery Brochure. There is a lovely Lake complete with water fowl in the center of this Serene and Peaceful Cemetery. There are also beautiful plantings that vary with the Seasons!

Directions:
Poughkeepsie Rural Cemetery
is on the East Bank of the Hudson River
South of the city on U. S. Route 9
Exit at Academy Street for South Avenue to the Main Entrance.

The picture below, also from the Brochure, is of the Main Entrance
and I assume from a Post Card, circa 1900.

"Quoted" from the same Brochure:
Located on the east bank overlooking the Majestic Hudson River,
Poughkeepsie Rural is over 200 Acres of gently rolling hills,
tranquil waters and stately trees creating a park-like
sanctuary of abiding dignity and natural splendor.
Where historic figures such as Thomas McKean, Continental Congress Member
and signer of the Declaration of Independence, and Matthew Vassar,
founder of Vassar College, which opened in 1861, are buried.
It was also, for a short time, the resting place of General Armstrong Custer,
legendary figure of the June 1876 Battle of Little Bighorn River.
He was buried later at West Point.

Poughkeepise Rural Cemetery
P. O. Box 977
Poughkeepsie, New York 12602-0977
(845) 454-6020
"The cemetery is open everyday from 8:00 am to 4:30 pm
but as far as I know the office is only open Monday - Friday."
