Its border streets were to the North: East Cayuga Street South: East Bridge Street West: East Tenth Street East: East Eleventh Street. NO STONES ARE LEFT, SO PLEASE DO NOT PLACE ANY PHOTO REQUESTS. Starting in 1827 burials were made on this property, with and without permission from the village board, which originally approved the establishment of a burial ground at this spot. Many attempts were made to either regulate or prohibit further burials. Finally in 1888 the cemetery was officially closed (bill No. 141 of the New York State Assembly) and most bodies removed in November and December of 1889 to Riverside Cemetery south of the city. Among those were the Congdon, Fitzgerald and Wilber families. Some families could not afford to move the bodies or no family could be found. The city of Oswego then paid for the removal. Some bodies though remained, since there was no efficient record keeping at that time. The area was turned into a park first (Fitzhugh Park), then later a school was built on that plot. Nowadays the Fitzhugh Park Elementary School in on that lot. See this 1860 historical map with the original location. ________________________________________________________ Before adding names to this cemetery, please check the RIVERSIDE, ST. PETERS and ST.
