This cemetary shaped me as a child. I believe it influenced my abilities to connect to the visionary. I began to write about it and could not even remember the name of the place. I am thankful that you posted these pictures. They help me to reconnect to images and memories that I hold. Thank you.

Hi, what beauiful photos. Im stumped, my great grandfather was Saied Abdul Wahed married to Fatima Abdul Wahed, they lived worked and died in Utica New York in the 1920′s or 30′s. i have searched all the sites i can possibly think of and cannot find anything?? Now that i have started looking im addicted!!! My gand father is old now and he cannot give me much more information other than what i have supplied. Also he said that my Great grand father worked on a garbage truck and passed away in a tragic accident!! i know i am probably on the wrong web site, but this is where my search took me. Any help would be amazing. Thanks for your time and sorry once again.

Karen Kelly both New Forest Cemetery and Forest Hill Cemetery had “Public Grounds” check with their respective offices.

Loved the photos…would you know where the former inmates from Utica Insane Asylum would be buried? I am searching for my grandmother who was abandoned there. She would have had no money or family and is maybe in a Potters field somewhere? Any help would be so appreciated.

Working on geaneology from Utica, seems that the New Forest cemetary is the only one that has not been documented.Is there a reason why? Or some place I’ve missed. This is the closest cemetary to my ancestors place of birth/death on Miller Street.
