The reading below was taken by Bill Dean, who was former historian of the Town of Galen, sometime in the 1980s. Mr. Dean's files were saved for posterity and converted from an old computer program by a team of dedicated Wayne County residents and historians. Our deepest appreciation goes to Frank Dennis, our Town of Rose editor, for making these records available for the first time. Frank would like to thank the following people who were instrumental in preserving these records for present and future historians and family researchers:

"No. 1 by far is Bill Dean, deceased, former historian for Town of Galen, who collected all the information and put it on the computer. Mrs. Dean, who gave the records and the computer to the Galen-Savannah Library; Bill Garafano, who was able to access the files and copy them so that I and others could work on them; Sue Ayers and Lori DiSanto, librarians at G-S Library, who showed me how to use the files, and Chris Edmonds, president of the Rose Historical Society, who converted the files to MS Xcel and sent them to me."

2005 Driving Directions - Rte. 14 North into Rose. Make right onto Wolcott Rd. As you go around the two bends in the road, the cemetery is located on the Right hand side of the road on a mound.
