Hi Mark,
George Deyo died in Altona, NY on Oct. 17, 1942 and was buried on Oct. 19 in Holy Angels Cemetery in Altona.
There isn’t a stone at the grave site. Maybe it was just a wooden cross which didn’t last or maybe they didn’t have any marker at all.
George’s son Lawrence was my uncle (he married my aunt Yvonne) and I remember them going to Mass. to visit relatives.
I obtained this information from a newspaper clipping.
In re: to Joseph and Julia Deyo
This is information that I found in a couple of books that were copied from original files by friends. Joseph and Julia were my husband’s ggrandparents.
Hope this is helpful.

Thank you Barb.
I will add this information to the family tree. I do believe that much of the family rests in that cemetery. I’d love to find Joseph & Julie Deo’s graves or better still birth information. Maybe that will come. (I’d love copies of the info if that’s possible….)
In the meantime, I have had some wonderful success in tracking Exina’s family. Once I prove out the links( this weekend I hope), I believe I should be able to get the family back to the late 1700′s and possibly all the way back into France. Je me souviens!

hi mark i am glad you have found your family–while i am still in search of my grandparents from east prussia and the route of my mothers long long prison life in siberia–i find it strange that my cousins in germany dont even know where my grandparents came from while my grandmother lived with one aunt for years–as i search i find information slowly and have had help from people over seas in germany and holland — i only hope to find the place where my mother was held in siberia as a prisioner of war and get the information from there–hopefully they will have my grandparents name on the paper work and i can go from there, any way have a wonderful day and many happy happy days of finding your family–irina
