Veteran Burial Records
Section R
Riverside Cemetery
Rochester, NY
The records on this page came from books kept by the Monroe County Veteran's Service Agency in order to locate graves and be able to place flags on the veteran's grave. Each book contains many small forms with data on each veteran burial. There is varying amounts of data on the veteran on these forms. Some only have death date while others include birth, death, enlistment and discharge dates and locations. Whatever is listed on the forms is included on this page.
It appears that the veteran records were not updated after about 1975.
The "Division" block on the form was used by the veteran's organization as a method of separating the the County into sections for those placing flags. The designation for this cemetery is 1A but some records are recorded as division 1.
