Burrows Cemetery
West of Oriskany Monument, Town of Rome

This cemetery was transcribed by L. Abrams in the 1920’s and a listing
was done by the DAR at that time.  According to Abrams notes the 
cemetery was being used as a cow pasture. The cemetery is in horrible
condition and only a few tombstones remain.  There are over two dozen
field stones indicating many burials without indentification.  
The cemetery is on private property and access is not allowed by the owner. 

On April 11, 2002, the following stones were transcribed by Kathleen Last and Virginia Ackerman.
