Inventory of Porter Hill Cemtery, Hermon, NY

In June of 2003 I visited Porter Hill Cemetery in the town of Hermon. This cemetery is located on the north side of Underwood Road, just off Trout Lake Road. I photographed and recorded the tombstones within the cemetery. Below is the inventory I developed during that visit. When a picture is available, the name of the person will be 'clickable' to bring up the picture. NOTE: The only names recorded here are for people who had markers that I could find in the cemetery. It does not include any other people who might have been buried but for whom no marker could be found. All comments can be directed to Anne M. Cady
