Brayton Hollow Cemetery

Chateaugay, Franklin County, New York

• This cemetery is also known as Chasm Road Cemetery.
• The original transcription was completed by Hulda & C. W. McLellan July 16, 1949. He wrote "Surrounded by wire fence but very much overgrown. Many plain field stones."
• Additions in red were added by Phyllis Thompson in July 1994.
• Photographs were taken of remaining stones on 3 May 2001 by Joyce M. Ranieri.

This is all you can see from the dirt road. If you look carefully, you can see a few tombstones on the hill.


This cemetery is extremely grown up and the stones are difficult to find.
