CHURCH STREET CEMETERY
Partial Reading
Little Falls, N.Y.
June 1998 and September 2000
The Church Street Cemetery is located between Church and Monroe
Streets, adjacent to Arthur Street in Little Falls. Three open gates from each
of the adjacent roads provide access. On the upper level a single dirt road runs
between the gate on Arthur Street and the one on Church Street. It is an
attractive cemetery and is easy to walk in it. There are some unreadable stones,
but many more are in very good condition.
In June 1998, my husband and I traveled to Herkimer County to
search for information about his ancestors. While at the HCHS we noted that
Parley and Phila Eaton, his GGG grandparents, were buried in the Church Street
Cemetery. While driving around Little Falls, we found the cemetery and proceeded
to look for the grave. No such luck! But we did find other kin and wrote down
the information.
We were leaving the next morning and the town offices on E.
Main St. already were closed, so we knew we'd have to make another trip someday.
In the interim, attempts to obtain a cemetery list proved futile. Just before
our return trip this September (2000), a fellow researcher had obtained the lot
number from the Town Clerk's office. After another unsuccessful attempt to
locate the grave on our own the evening of our arrival (though we wrote down
some other names), we headed to the Town Clerk's office first thing in the
morning and found the location on their map. And finally SUCCESS!
