"OLD CITY" CEMETERY
Beardslee's, East Creek
In the extreme southeast corner of the Town of Manheim, Herkimer County
just off Route 5
The burial listings for Old City Cemetery were originally contributed and reformatted by Douglas J. Ingalls. Doug advised us that
the listing was available at various local libraries and was reprinted in Tree Talks,
Vol. 17 No. 2 June 1977 and Vol. 18 No 1. March 1978, and the original reader and time of reading wasn't stated.
6/10/00 Since that time an alphabetical version, possibly from the same original reading
due to notes about the Beardslee Vault being identical wording, was found in Volume 363, pages 82-84, of the collected miscellanaeous
unpublished manuscripts of the N.S.D.A.R., and dated by Carol H. Warner December 13, 1970. At that time she was Genealogical Chairman, Fort
Rensselaer Chapter of the N.S.D.A.R. The two lists were compared and small changes from the D.A.R. list are noted in brackets.
