Lakeview Cemetery is comprised of four additional cemeteries, Old Episcopal Cemetery, Gerard Cemetery, and Rice Cemetery and Union
Cemetery, with the oldest graves dating back to the late 1700's. All known now as The Lakeview Cemetery. The actual Lakeview portion of the cemetery is the youngest portion, being opened in the late 1880s. The largest section was donated by Ruth Newey Smith. Ruth and her family were very prominent in Patchogue and are buried at the family plot marked by four stunning 20 foot obelisk. One for each of her sisters, Charlotte, Betsey and Augusta. The sisters obelisk are made of marble and Ruth's Obelisk is made of "White Bronze" topped with a life size statue.
