Sunnyside Cemetery

Alma, Allegany, New York

The Sunnyside Cemetery is on County Route 18, just off County Route 38 and is close to the village of Alma. Its nearly forgotten name is established from a deed in Liber 133, p. 131, Allegany County Deeds. It was given by Mrs. E. P. Watkins and husband to John C. Gadsby for the Sunnyside Cemetery Association. It is for a part of Lot 26 in the Lawrence Tract and describes the old cemetery and shows a change in lines. A map is given, partially in color.
