This is the second of three volumes of headstone inscriptions in
Clinton County, New York. This volume contains inscriptions of 47
cemeteries and has about 30,000 records. It was revised in 2004 to
update and add additional information that was not available when it
was first published. As part of the revision, the names and dates
were compared to the last 36 years of obituaries to insure accuracy.
It contains the remaining cemeteries in the city of Plattsburgh and the

towns of Peru, Dannemora, Plattsburgh, and Schuyler Falls that were
not in volume I. It contains all of the cemeteries in the towns of
Ausable, Black Brook, and Saranac.

Even though the spouse's maiden name may not be on the
headstone, it is included whenever it could be ascertained from other
sources. The person is listed under both their name and their
spouse's name. The reader is reminded that the spellings are
exactly as shown on the headstone a nd m ay n ot be what you a re
looking for. Please look under all of the possible spellings of the
name. There is also a list of name variations that I have observed on
page 440.

A map of each cemetery is included in this volume, and in many
cases, is divided into sections. Once you locate the record and want
to visit the cemetery to see the headstone, write down the cemetery
code and section shown in the last two columns of each record.
Locate the map of the cemetery by using the list of cemeteries and
record the location. You are now ready to visit the cemetery. There
is an index of all the cemeteries in Clinton County on page 437 that
shows which volume the headstone records are listed in.
