| General Information |
| The OES visited the Williams Family Cemetery on November 27, 2001. This one is VERY hard to spot, especially during the summer months. The cemetery sets in the middle of a clump of trees in a field, right next to US 23. It's on the site of the Old Williams Farm. When we arrived, we were pretty shocked to find one of the tombs busted open, but we didn't see any bones inside. There was litter scattered about the ground, probably from people throwing stuff out their window while driving up Route 23. The oldest stone we could read was 1841, so the cemetery was probably founded around that time. The largest stone in the cemetery is made of granite and carries the family name "Williams" on it. This was probably put there not too long ago. Many of the older stones were broken and fallen over. | |
