Hammond Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Oyster Bay Town Historian Access Nassau County, NY Burial Records... http://www.interment.net/us/ny/nassau.htm A Message From Town Supervisor JOHN VENDITTO JOHN VENDITTO Town Supervisor Dear Genealogy Enthusiast, In recent years, genealogy has become one of the world's most popular hobbies. Countless people around the world are actively engaged in some form of family research. Whether it's to satisfy a curiosity about oneself, provide children with a sense of who their ancestors were or to compile a medical history, people are trying to get in touch with their roots. Cemeteries are an important research tool for many people delving into geneal- ogy. Inscriptions on gravestones can be a significant source of genealogical infor- mation, but locating cemeteries, especially older ones, is not always easy. This booklet was developed to help those engaged in genealogical research in locat- ing the old cemeteries. It lists historical cemeteries in the Town of Oyster Bay, along with the transcription records for those cemeteries. Careless hobbyists, vandalism and deterioration with age have taken a heavy toll on these historic cemeteries. If you do visit a cemetery, please be quiet and re- spectful while in the cemetery and try not to walk on graves. I hope you find this booklet interesting and helpful as you "climb" your family tree. Very truly yours, JOHN VENDITTO Town Supervisor Access Nassau County, NY Burial Records... http://www.interment.net/us/ny/nassau.htm Historic Cemeteries of Oyster Bay A Guide to their Locations and Sources of Transcription Information Researched and compiled by John E. Hammond, Town Historian First Printing February 2007 Introduction For the historian and genealogist, cemeteries are vast repositories of information about the past. Within the pre-1920 boundaries of the Town of Oyster Bay are located some of the very oldest cemeteries to be found anywhere in New York State. The earliest cemeteries were small family plots such as the Townsend or Mill Hill cemetery located just to the west of the Mill Pond in Oyster Bay. This was a family burial plot for Henry Townsend, who built the first mill in Oyster Bay in 1661 and was buried on his own property. In nearby Oyster Bay Cove, the Youngs family set aside a plot of their own land for a family burying place in 1658. Today, this family burying plot also contains the grave of Theodore Roosevelt, 26th President of the United States. Various church groups began cemeteries in the later part of the 17th century, the earliest being the Friends, who set aside a cemetery on the west side of South Street in Oyster Bay in 1672. Interest in the documentation of the early burials within the Town goes back to the 1800s when some historians and family researchers began recording the inscriptions on the stones in some of the very oldest cemeteries. Samuel Youngs wrote about the difficulty finding the gravestones of the earliest settlers of Oyster Bay and many had disappeared even by the early 1800s; whether Samuel Youngs made any transcriptions is unknown. He, no doubt, was feeling some frustration even then as revealed in a short verse he wrote in the early 1800s; “Where are the stones that mark the bones Of those who die in Oyster Bay? There are no stones to mark the bones Of those who die in Oyster Bay.” The earliest surviving records of cemetery transcriptions is entitled “Oldest Inscriptions in Burial Grounds in this Vicinity” by Jacob T. Bowne. Bowne’s 1867 record covered a few cemeteries in the Glen Cove area. These efforts were followed by many researchers in the latter part of the 19th century. Most notable of these later researchers was Josephine Frost, who compiled information previously gathered by William Wyckoff on cemeteries throughout Long Island. Over the years, many headstones have disappeared from the old cemeteries; some were used in building foundations, as door stoops, and for walkways. During the Revolutionary War, Hessian and British soldiers reportedly desecrated many local graves and took headstones to use for various purposes. Many family cemeteries simply disappeared, while some were removed to larger public cemeteries. Many remaining gravestones have deteriorated so much that they are now completely unreadable. Unfortunately, in many cases, the transcription records made by those early historians and family researchers are now all that remain. Access Nassau County, NY Burial Records... http://www.interment.net/us/ny/nassau.htm Purpose of This Guide The purpose of this guide to Historic Cemeteries of Oyster Bay is to be of assistance to genealogical and historical researchers in determining the locations of the historic cemeteries within the pre-1920 boundaries of the Town of Oyster Bay and to serve as a guide to where transcription records can be found. The guide includes all known cemeteries that have ever existed within the Town of Oyster Bay. Although 23 of the cemeteries listed in this guide no longer exist, several individuals in the distant and not so distant past had the foresight to record the information that was then still present. Some records exist as the direct result of WPA projects during the 1930s. As one peruses the various sets of transcriptions beginning in the nineteenth century and up through those completed in the 1960s by Town of Oyster Bay Historian Herbert Hale, the ravages of time on the old stone inscriptions become clearly evident. This guide does not suggest, nor does it encourage, visits for information gathering purposes to any of the historic cemeteries listed within it. Whatever information remains on the surviving stones is clearly much less than what was transcribed years ago and the sources for obtaining those transcription records are included within this guide. Usage of this guide The cemeteries listed within this guide are arranged first by present day locality and then alphabetically by the most commonly known name of the cemetery; also included is a listing of all known names of the cemeteries. The names and descriptions of the locations were taken from the old transcription records; in some cases, the points of reference no longer exist. At least one transcription record is listed for each named cemetery and, in many cases, there are multiple records. Some of the cemeteries contained in this guide are still active; researchers seeking information relative to active cemeteries should be able to find inscription information by contacting those cemeteries.

  • Origen De La Enfermería En El Cine: El Género Histórico-Documental Y Biográfico
    ORIGEN DE LA ENFERMERÍA EN EL CINE: EL GÉNERO HISTÓRICO- DOCUMENTAL Y BIOGRÁFICO José Siles González Universidad de Alicante INTRODUCCIÓN El cine y las películas constituyen una herramienta fundamental para transmitir los fe- nómenos humanos en toda su complejidad, sin renunciar a ninguna de las dimensiones que intervienen en los acontecimientos. Ya Terencio y Shakespeare formularon la famosa frase: «Nada de lo humano me es ajeno». La enfermedad, el dolor, la muerte forman parte de la na- turaleza humana y, más tarde o temprano, de una u otro forma, acaban arribando a la existen- cia de todos los seres humanos que experimentan sus vivencias de forma tan diversa como compleja; es decir, mediante un determinado tipo de estética experiencial. Al cine, nada de lo humano le es ajeno y, particularmente, aquellos fenómenos vinculados a situaciones que producen cambios notables en quienes las viven (enfermedades, dolencias, pérdidas, etc.). Carper (1999) incluyó la dimensión estética como la cuarta integrante de los cuatro niveles del conocimiento enfermero (empírico-científico, ético, personal y estético). Otros autores desarrollaron modelos basándose en estos diferentes patrones y reinterpretando el conoci- miento estético desde las necesidades tanto del paciente como de la práctica profesional de enfermería partiendo de la base de la pertinencia de la estética ante situaciones –como el sufrimiento ante la enfermedad– donde el pensamiento subjetivo adquiere una gran intensi- dad (Chinn, 1994). Debido a su potencial de configuración ideológica (Lebel, 1973), el cine ha desempeña- do un papel determinante en el desarrollo de clichés, estereotipos y en una amplia gama de modelado de todos aquellos asuntos que forman parte de la realidad histórica.
