This cemetery is on the old Rotzel Farm in West Rush, Monroe Co., NY. Go South on East River Road, past Rush--W. Rush Road. Turn left on Rotzel Road and drive up the hill. Park at the end of the paved road and walk up the gravel road at your left to the top of the hill. The cemetery is fenced in, with a lawn of grass and several huge trees. Many stones are lying face down, stacked up in piles, &/or leaning on trees. Not many are legible. These were read by June C. Feder in Sept. 1992. They are arranged here in family groups.

[Note: Many stones were hard to read, so I consulted an old record (undated) on file at the Rundel Library. Some of those dates were not plausible. The data that was plausible, but different, are inserted here in brackets [ ]. It was impossible to read some stones that were face down in the dirt. Those headstones that were read earlier (probably about 1929) are preceded by an asterisk *. A ? indicates hard to read data. -- JCF]
