About

John & CarolAnn St. Lawrence

John and CarolAnn's journey began with a deep respect for veterans. When John discovered that records of his uncle's military service were not kept locally, he felt a strong commitment to honor the community veterans. He enlisted the expertise of his wife, CarolAnn, who is a skilled genealogist. Together, they have meticulously archived historical biographies and obituaries for over 600 veterans resting at St. Ann's and Union cemeteries.

About

Saint Ann's Cemetery

Saint Ann's Cemetery — The Garden of the Unforgotten — is a non-denominational cemetery and only human remains will be interred.  The Vestry of St Ann’s has complete jurisdiction over the management of the cemetery.  Established in 1874, St. Ann’s Cemetery is consecrated land owned by St. Ann’s Church, Sayville, and holds prominence in the community with its natural beauty and local history.

About

Union Cemetery

In 1849, Sayville's Methodist and Congregational churches collected funds to purchase land on North Main Street for a cemetery. Known as Union Cemetery, the six-acre tract was the first church-sponsored burial ground in Sayville. Prior to this some families were buried in the cemetery at St. John's €hurch in Oakdale, while others were buried on their own land. Capt. William Phillips Benjamin, who died in 1849, was the first person buried at Union Cemetery.
