As we went to plant some daffodils at our great grandmother's grave at Trinity Cemetery in Amityville, there was another grave I had wanted to find. Margaret Burke. I had a picture of the grave and the site it was at with a big bush that had red flowers on it. It looked like a bottle brush bush. So here we were looking for this bush. Our mom said the original photo on findagrave looked like there was a stone in the bush, but we weren't sure. We could not find this bush. Then as I was getting ready to give up I saw the graves. They were flat and all together. The bush had been removed and they had put up a sign.
Here is Margaret's grave.

A few more....
The bush was covering the block of stone.
We think the block of stone was part of the old St. Catherine's Infirmary that was originally in Amityville. It was moved out on Long Island to West Islip. We are still looking into more information on this place and who the people are that are buried in Trinity. We found this very interesting and will keep you updated.
