I would like to locate my granfathers grave. As near as I can tell he
was buried in Fairview Cemetery in ninteen ten. He was one of three
electricians killed at work on the first power plant in Niagra Falls.
His proper name is,
Albert Edward Collett. However they spelled it with an (e) on the end,
and I want to have it changed.

I found a contact address and telephone number for Fairview Cemetery
in Castleton Corners (an area formerly known as Middletown) New York
(Staten Island). If this is the cemetery you are asking about I can
post the contact information as my answer if that is acceptable. It is
a government regulated burial ground so they probably have a list of
buried individuals.

Regards;

I can tell by the amount of information I have from you ,that I should
be able to find my grandfathers grave. Thanks again. saws3.

Hi there,

I had actually contacted the Niagra Falls library about your
grandfather.  It took them a while to respond, but here's what they
had to say:

I've found an obituary for Albert Collett, in the Niagara Falls Daily
Record, August 5, 1910 that indicates his interment is at the Fairview
cemetery. "S.O.E plot". Our library listings for the Fairview cemetery
do not have any Colletts listed, but they are not complete listings.
The phone number for the cemetery is " 905-354-4721" and they may be
able to assist you further.

I also found Albert Henry Collett listed in a book on the Niagara
Peninsula, in a "Men of the Niagara Peninsula' chapter. It has a few
paragraphs on his business & family. If you would like a photocopy of
the article or the obituary, please let me know.

Sincerely,
