ALBANY RURAL CEMETERY, ALBANY COUNTY

These individuals are of the line Marinus, Pieter, Petrus, Henricus, David...         

Corrections: Regarding the Van Auken individuals buried in the Albany Rural Cemetery 

(Vol 12, pg 34, August 1995), listed is a Henry VA with a birth date of c1914 and death date of 3 Feb 1915.  Rutson VA and Mary Elizabeth McNeill (1863-1949) had a son, Henry, who died as a young child. His brothers and sisters are all buried at that cemetery. There is also an Alice listed with a death date of 1990. Was that a typo? Rutson & Mary Elizabeth had a daughter, Alice, who also died as a child. My grandfather was Stanley Mann VanAuken who was born June 28, 1900 (birth date says June 29, 1900.) My grandfather passed away on February 2, 1989. My grandmother, Mary Edith Curtis VanAuken is also buried at the same cemetery in the VA plot. A note says that "These individuals are of the line Marinus,  Pieter, Petrus, Henricus, David".

A correction: Rutson and his children are descended from Marinus, Pieter, Petrus, Jeremiah, Levi, Jeremiah, and Jeremiah. My grandfather had told me that there were a number of children who died while still young- Clarence, Percy, Alice, Eleanor, Henry, Archie, and Rutson Jr. Adelaide was 20 years old when she died from appendicitis. (b 13, Jun 1905- 1 Aug, 1925). Still alive of Rutson's children is Marjorie who was born 5 May 1912. Birthdate of Mary Elizabeth McNeill Van Auken is 1863 not 1807 as reported in the listing.

From:Linda Roderick <WJRod@aol.com>

Reply: The source of the list was the Registrar of the Albany Cemetery Association. Our records show the children of Rutson and Mary Elizabeth McNeil as: Esther Moore, Earle S, Marjorie, Stanley Mann, Alice, Archie, Rutson Suckley Jr, Adelaide, Benjamin D, Percival D, Eleanor. (Editor)
