Pioneer Hill Cemetery - Rush, New York This cemetery is located in some woods between 1115 and 1139 Rush - West Rush Road in the Town of Rush, New York. The cemetery is very overgrown and many of the tombstones had fallen over. In the July 8, 1911 issue of the Rochester Post-Express a combined list of tombstone inscriptions for this and two other cemeteries in Rush (Davis Cem. and Thomas Cem.) was pushlished by Anah B. Yates. This has confused people for these many years as to which persons are buried in which cemetery. This list should help to end the confusion. Another list of inscriptions was compiled by Mrs. Celia Green Larkin and Dr. Frances M. Witmer of the Te-car-na-wun-na Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, LeRoy, NY. This list was compiled by Richard T. Halsey from a visit to the cemetery on June 6, 1992. This information was provided by Richard T. Halsey .
