Town of Boston
Erie County, New York
St. John's RC Church
Cemetery
Mill St./Pfarner Road.
St. John's Church is a short distance away on Boston Cross
Road.
This information is from tombstone readings taken summer
of 2002 by
Tara Lowry Pfarner
(Tbella9@aol.com ), along with
some notes added from my research.
I am researching the Pfarner,
Faulring, Rucker, and Gasper families,
among others, if you would like to exchange information.
Special
thanks to Tara Lowry Pfarner for her time and effort in gathering the
readings for this cemetery.
