WALKER CEMETERY
WALKER CEMETERY
Hamlin, New York
The following article describing this cemetery was in
the Brockport Republic in 1890.
Sometime ago in giving a list of the
cemeteries established at an early date in the
town of Clarkson, years before the town was
divided, no mention was made of the cemetery
established at Kane's Corners, now East Hamlin
[also called Walker]. There is a small cemetery,
including only about half an acre of land. It is
shaded by a few pine trees, and the rank growth
of golden rod, milk weed and grass indicates
that the soil of that locality is very fertile.
The trees have so blackened some of the
headstones that their inscriptions are illegible.
In obtaining a list of the principal persons
buried in this cemetery, as shown by the
inscriptions, the earliest burial found was that
of Florilla, wife of Joshua Ryder, who died Mar.
31, 1844. There were perhaps earlier interments
under the hillocks having no memorial stones.
This is a composite list of burials extracted from: 1} a
July 1928 survey compiled by D.A.R. member, Mary T. Douglas;
2} a May 1939 survey compiled by D.A.R. members, Lula Smith
and Myrte Rice Haynes; 3} a list published in the Brockport
Republic in 1890; 4} a survey by Hamlin Historical Society
members, Peg Ryan, Linda Ryan & Nancy Martin in 1972 and 5}
a survey compiled by Marjorie S. Dows on July 16, 1978.
