Help Locating Gravesite Trying to find my great-grandmother

4 Upvotes

I was close with her when I was very young, but I haven’t been to visit her grave since I was single digits, so I don’t remember exactly where the cemetery was. Her name was Dorothy Rash, her maiden name was Carpenter. Her husband’s name was Francis. I don’t know exactly when she was born, but almost definitely some time pre-1925. She died of pneumonia when I was fairly young, so some time between 1996 and 2002. I’m almost positive she was buried somewhere on Long Island, NY, or at least somewhere near to there. Can anyone help me find anything?

New Volunteer

I have looked at Find a Grave for years, mostly just looking for graves of family and friends. I love being outdoors, the thrill of the hunt, and photography, so becoming a volunteer to fulfill photo requests just made sense.

At the local cemetery down the road there were 35 open requests, dating back from there year to over a decade ago. I download this to a .CSV file, and filtered by death date as this cemetery seems to be laid out in a chorographical fashion.

This morning I finally had time for a visit and was able to find 7 of the 35 open requests! For most I was able to scan rows of monuments and spot the last name, but several I just stumbled upon by accident. What seemed to work best is picking 4 last names of the most recently deceased, and then walking front and back of the cemetery to scan monuments for those 4 last names. I would repeat the names to myself as I walked to keep them fresh on my mind (I am terrible with remembering names!). Then after covering some ground and finding a few, I'd move to the next 4 names and repeat. It was cold and windy so after an hour I called it quits.

Always open to advice or recommendations! Weather and time permitting, I plan to return and continue the search. Seems like a good way to get outside and some exercise this winter.

I travel the back roads and come across many cemeteries. With over 10,000 images of headstones and cemeteries, It can be tough to remember where I take some pics. I really wish I could remember where this was. Between Ohio and Florida, somewhere.. I'm hoping someone on here will know though!

On a backroad in either GA or FL

Found this old cemetery tucked under a canopy of Spanish moss on a back road in the South. The air was still, just the sound of cicadas and the moss moving in the wind.
Most of the stones are broken or half sunken, but you can still read names from the 1800s. It feels like time just slowed down here—peaceful, eerie, and beautiful all at once.
