Throopsville Rural Cemetery
Cayuga County, NY


The cemetery was organized as the Rural Cemetery Association of the Town of Mentz on April 28, 1851. The North and original parcel was conveyed to the association by Oliver K & Irene Swift in 1851. The Southern parcel was conveyed in 1900 by DeForest and Hannah Treat to what was then called the Throop Rural Cemetery Association. There is no record to show a name change. However, after the Civil War the town of Mentz was split into several towns including Throop and the name was changed at some point to the Throopsville Rural Cemetery.

The three parts of the cemetery are Hosford, Swift and Treat. A plot can contain eight to ten burials and can be divided several ways.  The plots are numbered in order and if a plot was divided it was given a letter, example T126B would be Treat, plot 126, section B. The original cemetery books contained names that were not included previously because there may have been no marker, a wooden marker or the stone may have broken and not been replaced. Information from the books is noted with the plot it relates to.
