THE DEATH REGISTER OF ST. MARY’S PARISH IN POTSDAM, NY 1879-1915

This is a transcription of the death register of St. Mary’s Roman Catholic parish in Potsdam, NY from 1879 to 1915. Some of the names and other data do not appear in the original, but were taken from grave inscriptions. obituaries, census records and the Potsdam Town records 1889-1915. Some burial plots were taken from the actual cemetery census taken in the fall of 2001, and some are conjecture based on ownership of the plots in the Old St. Mary’s Cemetery on NY Route 56 south of Potsdam. Some ages are given in years/months/days notation, especially if they appear that way in the Town records
