Free Death Records in Poughkeepise Rural Cemetery, Poughkeepsie, Dutchess County, New York

search death records

Located on the east bank of the Majestic Hudson River, Poughkeepsie Rural Cemetery is over 200 Acres of gently rolling hills, tranquil waters and stately trees creating a park-like sanctuary of abiding dignity and natural splendor. Where historic figures such as Thomas McKean, Continental Congress Member and signer of the Declaration of Independence, and Matthew Vassar, founder of Vassar College, which opened in 1861, are buried. It was also, for a short time, the resting place of General Armstrong Custer, legendary figure of the June 1876 Battle of Little Bighorn River. He was buried later at West Point.
