8.  Greenridge Cemetery, City of Saratoga Springs (online at the Saratoga County NYGenWeb site):
Name Relationship Born Died Lot # Area
Stroup, Margaret Wade   1876 1923 B-013 Old
Stroup, Martha J. Hemming Wife of Paul Stroup   1994 ENA New
Stroup, Mary N. Wife of Walter M. Stroup 1933 No date given ENA New
Stroup, Paul N. Husb of Martha J. Hemming   1994 ENA New
Stroup, Walter M.     1957 ENA New
If Mary N. STROUP was born in 1933, then she must have been the wife of Walter M. STROUP, Jr.  Or is this her death date and someone has mis-read 1983 as 1933?
