JONES ROAD CEMETERY (Weaver Plot)
Town of Frankfort
Herkimer County, NY
Reading taken August 1998
Thanks to the efforts of the Frankfort Summer Youth Program, this small cemetery, located in the Town of Frankfort on Jones Road, abandoned for many years and covered by weeds and brush, has now been cleared, making it possible to once again wander past the old stones. So with pad and pencil in hand, I set out to gather the names on the gravestones, but found, due to age and condition, that some inscriptions were faint or only partially visible. I later compared my reading to a list from the Herkimer County Historical Society, and have noted their differences or other information by parenthesis ( ), with additional names at the bottom of my list. A number of stones had inscriptions, but most were only partially readable and so I have not included them.
