INTRODUCTION
There are nine burial places within the town of Spattord, six public and three private, none of which have been incorporated, although some steps have been taken in that direction in two instances, but as yet there is no public record of any act of that kind. Of the six public cemeteries two, known as the old Borodino and the Nunnery Ceme- teries, have been abandoned and are now in disuse, leaving four, one at Borodino, one at Spafford Corners, one at Cold Brook, and one at Spafford Hollow, still in public use and in fair condition. Of the three private burial plots, known as the Davis, Lewis, and Stanton Yards, only the latter is now in the possession and keeping of the family making use of it, and is in fair condition, but in the case of the other two, which have gone out of the possession of the original families for whose use they were set apart, they are sadly neglected and gone to waste, as such plots sooner or later always will be under similar circumstances.
Outside of the places enumerated above, there is a single grave of a Mrs. Parker, on the Breed Farm on Lot No. 11, Tully, and there is said to be one or two unmarked graves on Lot 77, Marcellus; but as to these, in the absence of stones to designate them, even the names of those interred cannot now be ascertained.
Just north of the town line, in the adjacent town of Marcellus, is a public cemetery connected with the Thorn Hill Baptist Church, which is quite generally used by the people residing in the northern end of this town as a burial place for their dead. The tombstone records of this Ceme- tery also appear in the following pages, as a full statement of the dead of this town would be incomplete without them.
In closing this brief introduction it seems proper to say that, in the preparation of the following pages, it become necessary to visit the several burial places located in this town, and observe their condition. It appears that, in many

instances, private care and attention has been bestowed upon portions of the several general cemeteries now in use, but there has been no general or systematic care and atten- tion given to these burial places, such as the enlightened and progressive spirit of the present age seems to demand. These four public cemeteries, now in use, should be incor- porated, and proper officials appointed, who will receive the generous gifts which tender and loving hearts are always willing to make, for purposes of this kind, and judiciously expend the same in beautifying, preserving and caring for these sacred places, made hallowed by the ashes of our beloved dead.
