Green Lake Road Town of Coxsackie

This a very large plot, very well laid out when first organized, a great many graves, but just a few stones left. On the left hand side of Green Lake Road in field going south from 9W highway, to Chappel CEMETERY. This property in 1949 was rented by Milton MINER. On a recheck I found many more stones gone and all broken. J. M. ROSSI. VANSCHAACK, Rebecca & Baby, Oct. 23, 1817 - Sept. 25, 1849, Wife of Casper I. H. HALLENBECK

Cornwell Family Cemetery

This is an abandoned cemetery of some size, with no stone wall or fence of any kind to mark its perimeter. The burials are spread over a fairly large area, with many fieldstones to mark burials. The cemetery is in very poor condition and it is probable that there are many buried tombstones or markers under the leaf litter of generations.

The cemetery is located on the east side of Cold Spring Rd. in the Town of Coxsackie, about one mile north of the Athens/Coxsackie town line. There is a long driveway to the right and the cemetery is about 50 feet in and another 200 feet south of that driveway on a little knoll in the forest.
