SANFORD CEMETERY
MARGARETVILLE, DELAWARE CO., NY
There are lots of ways to dress for cemetery walking and photography.. I advise not dressing in a 3 piece suit and heeled boots but something much more comfortable; like jeans and sneakers. This was one of those trips into the area where an opportunity presented itself and well my attire didn't.. but I didn't let that stop me!
The farthest back section (least visible) to the right rear of the above photograph is the older part of the cemetery.
The photograph of me was taken in this section.
This is where a very large majority of Sanford's, VanBenschoten's and those related are buried.
