Burials
- Berne Historical Project - During Berne Heritage Days 2005 the Berne Historical Project webmasters, Gordon and Joan Wright, photographed all the headstones in Woodlawn. Joan then spent several months transcribing the photos and entering the information on the Berne Historical Project site.
- New York Gravestones Photo Project also has photos and transcriptions.
