	peace to his ashes"

1860 - 	Mortimer HAMLIN died	

Note:  These burial records were originally compiled in the early 1960's as part of a project by Local Historians and Members of the Owasco, NY Chapter of the D.A.R.  The 1960s countywide cemetery burial inventory was often just a transcription of names & dates found on legible headstones.  Thus, the listings may not include any burials after about 1964.  There may be additional burial or record information not cited on this website page because headstones were missing or not legible.  Copies of the burial listings found on this website page came from the 1960s Cayuga County NY cemetery burial roster project and were obtained courtesy of the Cayuga County NY Historian's Office.   Thanks to Wilda Brown for transcribing the information on this page into digital format.

Hello.
I'm interested in accurate genealogical information. There is a piece of parenthetical
misinformation on your site - so I'd like to correct it.

The wife of Andrew Loyster was NOT Betsy Briggs, as stated in the December 1962 issue of
"Yesteryears".

His wife was Elizabeth V. Van Dorn, daughter of John Van Dorn and Alchey Voorhees.  

This Elizabeth was born 22 Feb 1807 in Charlstown, NY. She married Andrew Loyster on 14 July 1831
in Skaneateles, NY. The Reverend Brace married them.

This information comes from two sources:
1) My grandmother's diary (Florence Ogden 1877-1952) Andrew and Elizabeth were her mother's parents,
and her "Grandma Elizabeth lived until she was 16 years old.

2) A DAR application of Fannie Ogden Day (Fannie was Florence's older sister, who was 21 and married
when Elizabeth died.

Thanks for listening. I hope that I can ultimately spread this information to other descendants of
Elizabeth Van Dorn.

--Bob White
