Green-Wood Cemetery
Section 175, Lot 21063.
Lot 21063 was purchased by the Reformed Dutch Church of Flatbush. Removals from their Flatbush cemetery were brought here. The Strong Family occupies the right half of the lot, behind the monumental brownstone monument indentifying the lot as church property. Four stones, also moved from the old churchyard, memorialize the STRONG family, but not all of them. The small stone at the right front of the lot is badly eroded. On its front can be seen the phrase “Our Baby Sister, but no name. On its reverse side can be discerned the names Margaret Elizabeth and Isaac Crier Strong.
[NOTE: Some STRONG family members buried here are not memorialized by any currently visible or legible stone or inscription. A list of lot occupants, with burial dates, appears after the inscriptions.]
