Was asked about whether I had an early photo of this cemetery, the one on High Street. I do, it is one of the George Guelf glass plate negatives that were digitized. The photo is c1910. I shared it with the person, they want to use it in the Brockport Community Museum site, and someone from the Landmark Society wanted a look at it too.
Update: One part of the query above was about a receiving vault that had been there in the cemetery, an unusual Egyptian revival style stone building. I posted about this vault in the "Remembering Brockport" group in Facebook, and got a very helpful response from someone who shared the following link. Apparently the vault was demolished in the 1990s due to "severe deterioration."
