I have included these three stones in this listing as they are in the same area as the other sandstones. The Hall gravestones are not near any of the other sandstones in the Van Cortlandtville Cemetery, but they are directly in back of the Little Red School House, once the site of the early Baptist Church. The first recorded gravestone on the six acre plot seems to have been Stephen Travis who died in 1751. St. Peter's Episcopal Church was started in 1766 and dedicated in 1767, and the Baptist Church was built on the plot about 1772. Many of these old sandstones are damaged and down.
Sandstones deteriorate from internal stresses.
Please try to visit this historic cemetery and view these stones yourself before it is too late. Surname Given Name Date of Death Age at Death Miscellaneous, Epitaphs, Etc. An honest man's the noblest work of God. We scarce enjoy the balmy gift But mourn the pleasure gone. A faithful Saviour soon will come That dust to ransom from the tomb.
