CHURCH STREET CEMETERY

Partial Reading

Little Falls, N.Y.

June 1998 and September 2000

Gravestone of Parley Eaton

The Church Street Cemetery is located between Church and Monroe Streets, adjacent to Arthur Street in Little Falls. Three open gates from each of the adjacent roads provide access. On the upper level a single dirt road runs between the gate on Arthur Street and the one on Church Street. It is an attractive cemetery and is easy to walk in it. There are some unreadable stones, but many more are in very good condition.

In June 1998, my husband and I traveled to Herkimer County to search for information about his ancestors. While at the HCHS we noted that Parley and Phila Eaton, his GGG grandparents, were buried in the Church Street Cemetery. While driving around Little Falls, we found the cemetery and proceeded to look for the grave. No such luck! But we did find other kin and wrote down the information.

We were leaving the next morning and the town offices on E. Main St. already were closed, so we knew we'd have to make another trip someday. In the interim, attempts to obtain a cemetery list proved futile. Just before our return trip this September (2000), a fellow researcher had obtained the lot number from the Town Clerk's office. After another unsuccessful attempt to locate the grave on our own the evening of our arrival (though we wrote down some other names), we headed to the Town Clerk's office first thing in the morning and found the location on their map. And finally SUCCESS!

In the absence of a complete cemetery list and on the chance that someone might be interested in any of these names, I offered them to Martha and she suggested that then others also might send in names that they had found at the Church Street Cemetery, Little Falls.

My Great Great Grandparents, Maternal, and a cousin are buried in the cemetery in Little Falls. I was there in 1996, and found everyone in the City to be quite helpful. The man who was in charge of the Cemetery met me at 5:30 in the evening, 2 hours after he got off work, and had cemetery maps and a camera in case I didn't. After searching for a half hour, we found what I was looking for. I thanked him (and sent a written thank you to him and the staff at City Hall, when I returned home). He told me to just lock the gates when I left! 4 Marker Stones: Fannie Zurlinden, 1828-1904 Samuel Zurlinden, 1832-1883 Albert Zurlinden, 1855-1918 Grace, Dau. of Albert Z. 1898-1982 Fannie Zurlinden was Fannie Sumerhauser, married to Samuel. I am not positive if Albert was Samuel's son or not, but Grace was my mother's cousin, Grace (Zurlinden) Stump, of Pittsburgh, PA. She was probably born in Little Falls. Albert was most likely born in Little Falls, but Fannie and Samuel Zurlinden were born in Germany. No Zurlinden's show up on the 1880 LDS Transcription, and Samuel's father's name, in records, shows up as Jacob Zulinder. I hope some of this information can be added to the website.

2/7/03 Fri, 23 Aug 2002 Hello, I was looking up Little Falls Cemetery online and I came across your email address. I spent an hour and a half today at the cemetery looking for my Mabee relatives that I know are buried there. The three that I did NOT find were Abbie L., William and Margaret. I am not sure who this William and Margaret were that I did not find. The historical society has Margaret dying in 1915, Willam in 1866. Abbie L. would have been the second wife to the William mentioned below. She died in 1910. In the plot below are William and his first wife Margaret. I am assuming that the two children were born to William and his second wife Abbie and they died as babies, buried in the plot already bought when his first wife died. Anyhow, I send this all to you because I read on your site that you are interested in any of the cemetery readings. Buried at Church Street Cemetery: Mabee Willie 1864-1864 William 1813-1876 Margaret 1820-1857 Stanley 1874-1875 Other stone inscriptions that I wrote down to share with people from Church Street Cemetery are as follows: Louisa May Strough 1925-1927 Frances Kingsbury 1854-1900 Eva Kingsbury 1878-1938 Edward Kingsbury 1862-1951 Romald D. Kingsbury 1836-1899 Henry Seeber 1851-1903 Ella E. Seeber 1859-1945 Raymond H. Seeber 1887-1908 Leta Seeber 1893-1943 Squire House died June 12, 1902 aged 63 yrs 6 mo 12 days Cornelia wife of Squire House died Oct 28, 1871 aged 43 yr 6 mo 12 days Harry son of Squire House.........
