Lonely Grave: Walter Cleveland, Sr.

I was walking through Ballston Spa Village Cemetery today, attempting to locate old gravestones to fulfill photo requests for members of Find a Grave, when I came across a burial with no stone at all, just a worn marker from a funeral home.

I put up a memorial on Find a Grave, and found his SSDI record (which allowed me to fill in additional records). I haven't yet been able to find his obituary, if one was even written. I promised him that I'd at least put this up, so that when someone does eventually come looking for him, they'd have half a chance at finding him. Maybe some day he'll even get a full marker.

He's interred next to a young girl, Rebecca Elizabeth Curley (1984-1997), not too far away from the Pettit/Bunyan circle (near the fence).
