I have found in some cases, for this cemetery listing that the dates of death from the original cemetery list I used by the town, MAY BE the date of burial, rather than the date of death.  I did further research of newspapers, for correct dates of death.  If dates not in blue, then you should further check for the actual date of death, usually a variance of a few days.

This cemetery developed in 1870's from the farm of Clinton & Lucinda Rapalee. They had buried a young son at the top of the hill in 1862, but this plot is not part of the current cemetery and is on private property.

 Later, many prior burials from Barrington & Starkey were moved to this cemetery and in 1908 a cemetery association took over the cemetery.  In 1927, the village of Dundee assumed maintenance and ownership of this cemetery.  This is still an active cemetery.

Her death occurred Sunday after a short illness. Her maiden name was Miss Rose Florence Beckwith,  and her early life had been spent in this village.

Dundee - Seventeen-year-old Maurice Kent, Dundee High School junior, died Monday at 7:25 p. m. in a Penn Yan hospital, the third victim of a two-car crash on the Dundee-Watkins Glen highway two miles south of Dundee Sunday evening.

The other victims were Oliver Orr, 63, of Penn Yan, who died in an ambulance en route to the Penn Yan hospital and Miss Margaret Prosser, 17, of Dundee, who died in the Shepard Hospital at Montour Falls a few minutes after she was admitted. 

The third victim's death, physicians said, was caused by shock, internal injuries and loss of blood. His brother, Carlton Kent, 19, driver of one of the two cars involved in the accident is reported in good condition at the hospital, as is Miss Inez Vervalian, 17, also of Dundee, a passenger in the Kent car.   Mrs. Clifford Orr, 23, wife of the driver of the second car involved, is reported resting comfortably at the Shepard hospital .
