Below are some names gleaned from a recent clean-up visit (July, 2001) to the Baron Hirsch Cemetery in Staten Island, NYC. They are from the very overgrown Hlusker Benevolent Society plot, "Founded Jan 1, 1900, Dedicated Aug 21, 1910" is inscribed on the entry arch. The section is A184.
Many of the burials from the middle back into the wild overgrowth date from the teens to the 30's, and were almost certainly immigrants from the Glusk/Hlusk area.
We cut away what we could in searching for our family, clearing dates as well as names. We had a xerox-type copy of an undated hand-drawn plan of the Society's burials, signed by a City Surveyor, and we built from there. These names are partly from the plan, and from our work. One or two are a very small bit of guesswork.
I hope this may be of some help to someone.
