Our History
Not far from the hamlet of Lakemont, NY on a quiet country road lies the Lakemont Cemetery. It is one of the oldest cemeteries in the Town of Starkey, and is sometimes referred to as Henderson Cemetery, since it is located on land originally settled by the Henderson family and their descendents, or Eddytown Cemetery. The Cemetery Association was first formed on November 18, 1911.
The cemetery has a rich area history and includes many veterans from conflicts dating back to the Revolutionary and Civil Wars. Additionally, notable author Paul Bowles is interred in this cemetery. Original members of the Cemetery Association were:
William Henderson
- David Royce
- John Chadwick
- Hiriam Elliott
- Johnson Connolly
- John Carr
