Note from Scott Bauer: My family ancestors are the Bower family. Regarding Families Bower and Pross in the 1880 census - Caroline Bower married William Pross, and their young son is named John. The second John on the page is the son of George and Caroline Pross. It had to be hard that her mother in law had the same name as her, and then her son is named John and his uncle is named John.

IMPORTANT: We thank you in advance for directing ALL requests for further information about this cemetery and persons listed to the historians at the Herkimer County Historical Society, not to the site coordinators. Corrections or additional information should be sent to the coordinators of this website to post with these listings.
