Read More	The earlier headstone transcriptions and kindness of Niles historian Mable L. (Ruscoe) Crosby (1909–1999), who escorted me to this gravesite in August of 1987, are gratefully acknowledged. —A. Parker This family burial ground was designated Cemetery No. 151 when a 10-volume listing of over 260 Cayuga County cemeteries was indexed in the 1960s. Mrs. Crosby took an inventory of this deserted plot on 21 Apr 1962 and noted the following: “About ½ mile past Arnold Road, S on East Lake Road, E at the back of woods on the south end near a large pine tree. “Cem. does not appear on New Cemetery [Century] Atlas of Cayuga Co., 1904, but would have been on the W. L. VAN DUYNE farm, Lot 13.* “This is on the line between Gerald SHAW’s and Meredith Badman’s property. There were some pieces with nothing legible, so there may have been some others buried there.” (http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~nycayuga/cem/cem151.htm; digital format thoughtfully transcribed by Wilda Marshall Brown, 1937–2016) Mrs. Crosby further elaborated in her book entitled Niles 1833–1983: “Van Duyne Burials. This is the family site on the edge of the woods of the old Van Duyne farm, old Scipio Lot No. 13,* on a rise overlooking Rockefeller Road and the lake [Owasco]. Just a few stones of the family of John Van Duyne, a revolutionary soldier, a private from Somerset State Troops, from Morris Co., N.J. He died in 1849, aged 87 years. It is abandoned.” * Due to an error in the 1904 atlas, Mrs. Crosby misidentified the lot number on her initial record and in her subsequent book. The graveyard—which appears on an 1853 Cayuga County Land Ownership wall map—is a fraction of 300 acres purchased by John Van Duyne on 3 Jan 1805 and situated on Lot 19 within the original town of Scipio (Military Tract Township No. 12). The land had been incorporated into the town of Sempronius in 1799, and ultimately that of Niles upon the town’s formation in 1833. As per his will, John Van Duyne’s land was divided amongst his sons, and Peter (1806–1880) inherited 110 acres, including the small cemetery. Peter’s will, in turn, stipulated that all of his real estate could be sold after his wife’s death except that which encompassed “the burying grounds” (fenced at that time) and an adjacent right-of-way. $100 was to be set aside for maintenance. Peter’s executors complied, and the aforementioned parcel was not conveyed when the property sold in 1886.
