cemEarsley Family Burial Ground

Located In The Hamlet of Caroline
Town of Caroline, Tompkins County, NY

This cemetery is no longer in site, a farmer long ago removed all headstones and plowed the
field up, the headstone of Susan Schoonmaker is now at the Caroline Town Hall.
It was found in a hedge row, not far from where the cemetery once was.
