This cemetery is located on River Road, just before the 13 Pines Motel, in the 
City of Rome. A DAR listing of this cemetery refers to it as the Grange Hill 
Cemetery and indicates that Revolutionary War soldier Noah Kent is buried here. 
No stone has been found for him, nor any DAR marker. Noah Kent was born in 
Suffield, Connecticut and died at "Kent Corners" Jan./Feb. 1813. Mr. Kent and 
his family settled in Oneida County from Lanesborough, Berkshire, Massachusetts 
about 1792. 

All the tombstones in this cemetery are on the ground, with grass growing on 
top of them. Three stones were partially visible, and after much prodding three 
more were uncovered, several inches below the ground. There are probably 
several more in this cemetery that may never be found. There is also one field 
stone in the far corner that looks like a marker but there is no writing on the 
stone.
