St. Andrews Cemetery
Directions: From Batavia: Take St. Rt. 32 west towards Eastgate. Pass through Eastgate. Come to Mt. Carmel. Before you descend down the St. Rt. 32 hill towards Newtown, turn right on Mt. Carmel Road. Stay on Mt. Carmel Road until it ends into Roundbottom Road (river straight across). Turn right on Roundbottom Road. Drive along the river. Turn left at next road. This is South Milford Road. You will cross the river. Pass Milford Elementary School and Terrace Park Country Club. You will make a sharp right curve by Jesuit’s entrance. Continue until you make another sharp curve (left). Get ready to turn into the cemetery on left. Stone pillars line the entrance. I ended up parking at Sem-Villa (next left, after cemetery entrance) --back their drive -- along back side of the cemetery. Easy access - no dangerous terrain.
Pictures and additional inscriptions taken by Pamela Smith, CCGS member, and Vicky Kellum, volunteer, in October, 2007. This is a very beautiful cemetery that is well cared for. There has not been any vandalism or broken monuments, that I could see. I had photo problems with the sun and shadows. Went at different times of day and still had problems. We were only missing one stone that was previously recorded. After examining the St. Andrew Cemetery records, there may be many missing or a lot of unmarked burials. A lot of Irish Catholics buried within this sacred cemetery. For a listing of all burials, not just stones, visit:
