This reading of Jerusalem Hill Cemetery was copied in 1928 by Edith Bonfoy Harrison and Edith C. Lecky, of the General Winfield Scott Chapter NSDAR, West Winfield, N.Y. There were no accompanying notes giving exact location. All spellings are exactly as on the original typescript. Over 70 years have passed since this reading and some of the stones, if still legible, are now over 200 years old. A number of the earliest settlers and their children rest here. For more information about persons on this listing, please visit, or order a search from, the Herkimer County Historical Society.
