BRAEHEAD ROAD CEMETERY
Braehead Rd., Town of Kortright, Delaware County, NY
42° 24' 54.81" N 74° 46' 22.128" W 571.00
Mary S. Briggs, Historian for the Town of Davenport has given us permission to transcribe the Cemetery Guide edited by The Davenport Historical Society, Davenport Center, NY. The Braehead Road Cemetery compilation was taken from this guide. The Braehaed Road Cemetery is located at the intersection of Braehead Road and CR 33. This is the same location given for the Bathrick Cemetery, and I will correct this once I find out which cemetery it is. This cemetery is located and accessed easily. Its condition is listed as abandoned. --Submitted by Collin Haight, March 24, 2000
June 21, 2016 - This cemetery is abandoned and in very poor condition. It is likely that around half of original burial stones are simply beneath the soil. Many are tipped and lying flat on the ground with woodchucks taking up residence. Below are links to photos shot by me of stones that are legible and somewhat legible. --Joyce Riedinger, 2016

UPDATE-August 20, 2019 - Link to Alan Anderson e-mail
UPDATE-April 20, 2018
Marianne Greenfield of Grave Stone Art will be doing a one day workshop on the proper procedure and materials to clean gravestones. We will hold this Saturday, June 2, at the Braehead location. In the days prior to the workshop I will be doing more cleanup and locating fallen gravestones. - (see photos by Marianne at end of page)

UPDATE-November 3, 2017 - (see photos at end of page)
The Town of Kortright put up a new fence this summer. Marianne Greenfield of gravestoneart.com met with me at the cemetery on Saturday October 8 before I started cutting the grass, weeds, bushes, briars, and brambles. She and I will continue with our project next year. --Alan Anderson
UPDATE-22 May 2017
The Town Board for Kortright will be getting a couple of bids to put up new fencing. When, the fence is done the need for some volunteers to clean up the interior (cutting grass, and removing any small shrubs and bushes to see what headstones exist.) We will not be cleaning or re-setting of the headstones.
