Irish Immigrant Honora Egan and her Husband Frederick Reed

The night before last, with serendipity as the only plausible explanation, I discovered the burial site of one of my (and my siblings' and cousins' too) great great grand parents on the Sutherland side of the family. I have searched repeatedly off and on for several years without success until now.

Lineage:
Arthur E Sutherland Jr. & Susan Adams Sutherland  (Grandparents)
Nellie Reed Sutherland & Arthur E. Sutherland (Sr.) (Great Grandparents)
Honora Egan Reed & Frederick Reed (Great Great Grandparents)

My namesake, Honora Egan, her husband Frederick Reed, a farmer in Nunda, New York, and one of their two offspring, their son, Fred B Reed, are buried in Oakwood Cemetery in Nunda where they lived (too obvious not to have been found sooner, wouldn't you think?). Fred B.'s sister Nellie Reed, who married our great grandfather, Arthur E Sutherland (Sr.), is buried in Rochester, New York.  (NB I have put in the request to add links to the next of kin on the FindAGrave site.)
