Links To The Circa 1960s Cayuga County, NY - 'Cemetery Burial Roster Books'
|
| In the early to mid-1960s, two local historians, together with the Owasco chapter D.A.R. and members of the local Pomona Grange Chapter, compiled a partial countywide roster of cemetery burials within Cayuga County NY. The resulting 10-volumes of cemetery burial roster books generally cite the name and date (or
year) of death as referenced in either cemetery records or (more commonly) as transcribed from
cemetery gravestones. Copies of these cemetery index volumes are available
for research in the Local History Discovery Center at Seymour
Public Library, The
Cayuga County Historian's Office and Luther
Research Center at the Cayuga-Owasco Lakes Historical Society and Syracuse NY (Onondaga County) Public Library. A
complete set was also placed in the The Cayuga County Clerk's Office (Now in the County Records Mgmt. Office) in the early 1960s without a notice of copyright protection. The copies
of each volume as contained in the Seymour library, County Historian's Office,
and the Luther Research Center contain individual surname indexes. Some of the list of burials for cemeteries, contained within the 1960s countywide cemetery burial inventory, were apparently copied from an earlier inventory of cemetery burials compiled by Frank A. & Clara Skilton. Mr. Skilton was an attorney & businessman who devoted the last 30-years of his life to conducting historical and genealogical research. Mr. Skilton
died on 6 January 1931 and some of his historical research records and those of his wife,Clara Maria Gilbert Skilton included tombstone inscriptions from graves in more than eighty Cayuga County, New York, cemeteries. These 'Skilton' research records now reside at the Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections;
