Located in the NW corner of Lot No. 89, 3/4 mile from Sempronius hamlet and church, on south side of Frazier Road, as shown on page 65, New Century Atlas of Cayuga Co., NY. Copied 1959 by Leslie Luther, Moravia, NY.

Atwater or Sempronius Cemtery Records http://www.rootsweb.com/~nycayuga/cem/cem186.htm “This cemetery is horribly overgrown, the back part almost impassable with bushes and briars. Here again I found stones down so long they were entirely covered with a mat of myrtle, which went unnoticed unless you just happened to walk there and feel a firmness underfoot.

The Skilton records contained 27 names, L. Luther has 44, and I found 52. By doing this composite list of these three, we have about 80 names. And I am sure there must still be some we didn't happen to walk on. Copied 1962 by Mabel Crosby, Moravia, RD #1
