Cemeteries are wonderful for being complex or not what you think they are. Have just received the records from two caretakers here in Saratoga County to copy and eventually get computerized. They have closed the cemeteries for the winter. The Scott Cemetery in the town of Greenfield was previously known as the Wing Cemetery. I showed the man a copy of Cornelius Durkee's work done in 1876-77 when Durkee copied most of the cemeteries in Saratoga County. We are most fortunate to have that on microfilm and available for use. The Saratoga County historian's office has it listed as the Wing-Scott cemetery. So if you were looking for records on that, you might never find them by looking for its present name. Old Gurn Springs Cemetery in Wilton was previously known as Emerson. This is not unusual so finding records might be difficult because of name changes from earlier records as previously recorded. In Delaware County, my ancestors are buried in what they call Carroll Cemetery in Trout Creek. I have the original deed signed by the Carroll family members for the 'Trout Creek Cemetery' as it was called by them when they started it. It is on an official pre-printed Trout Creek Cemetery form with places for filling in all the particulars. There is now a Trout Creek Cemetery about 1/8th mile away and no one calls the first cemetery anything but Carroll Cemetery. They insisted I was wrong until I took the original to show them. Then I went to Delhi and ran a search of all recorded deeds for both cemeteries and showed them that it was Trout Creek Cemetery. Talk about upset with destruction! One Memorial Day, I drove in with my mother to decorate the graves as we had for 25 years. The Carroll Cemetery Association decided it was tooooooo much work to mow around everything so they broke off all of the corner posts in the old part and broke off all of our small markers and sunk them in the ground about the end of April. By Memorial Day, the grass had grown over a lot of them. The pieces they broke off were piled along the edge of the cemetery. They did not break off any of in the old part of members who still lived around there. Apparently they could mow around those alright. Eventually they used all of those pieces of corner markers to mark all of their lots in the new part. I contacted the Delaware Co. attorney and his decision was that he felt it was not a criminal act but thought it should not have been done. This is our property and they had no right. The best part was that my mother had sent money when they requested donations from decendants to cover mowing and the amount she sent would have covered the gas for their mowers to do the whole cemetery. I still have the canceled check. So I then photographed the whole cemetery and documented everything they had done. AND they have also sold lots in the old part to people who recently moved to the area but they have not had any records since the 1950s when they burned in a house fire. I have that information in a letter because no one had any records or deeds and someone wanted to buy some of our unused lots. By the way, they were $10 in 1896 and I would have to sell them for $10 today. If I gave them to the cemetery association, they could then sell them for the going price today. Now you know why I get involved with cemeteries. They cannot rest in peace.
