The OES visited Williamsville Cemetery on July 30, 2003. Located in Delaware County, just off of Route 23, Williamsville Cemetery also contained Patterson Cemetery (also known as McCloud Cemetery). The original Patterson cemetery was dug up in 1970 when Alum Creek was dammed and moved to Williamsville Cemetery. The section where the Patterson sign is located where the transplanted graves were located. The original Patterson Cemetery was founded in 1834, and Williamsville Cemetery may have been established around 1836. The oldest stone in the entire cemetery that we could find at the time of our visit was that of Thomas Patterson, who died on March 13, 1835. There were several veterans buried here who served in the Civil War and some later wars. A couple of stones simply stated "unknown," which were most likely transplants from Patterson Cemetery whose original markers were not found or illegible. The majority of the stones were in good shape, but there were plenty that were heavily damaged. Several OES members heard some unexplainable footsteps in the wooded area behind the cemetery both during the day and at night, but there aren't any known hauntings in the area. A residential neighborhood began developing the area immediately surrounding the cemetery in 2008. Hopefully this doesn't spell demise for this once rural and quiet cemetery.
