PHOTOS OF FLORIDA

THE FLORIDA REFORMED CHURCH

The photos below were taken by Michelle Bartels while vacationing in Florida, New York in the summer of 1998. Michelle tells us that she had a great time and was cordially received by Pastor Scott Crane and his wife. Click on each photo for an enlarged view.

		Florida Reformed Church, view from the road. The original building was constructed in 1808, and major renovations were undertaken throughout the years. Most of the church was recontructed in 1912, following a fire.
Interior view, looking toward the front of the sanctuary. The pulpit is on the left.
		Interior side view. These doors lead to the Sunday School room, on the side of the church.
One of the beautiful stained glass windows inside the church.
		The church cemetery, located behind the church. Most of the grave stones are in good condition. Some that have broken over the years are now setting at the edge of the yard.

Michelle tells us "I'm a descendent of many of the big families in early New York: Vedder, du Traux, Van der Bogart, Glen, etc. I've recently traced many roots back to Montgomery Co., to the Arnot and McMichael families, between 1800 and 1850."
