Cemetery Reinterments, Gilboa, Schoharie Co., NY

The main street of the village of Gilboa was razed in October of 1925. Its site became part of the artificial lake, five miles long and holding twenty-two billion gallons of water, which provides water to the City of New York. The years of 1918 through 1921 saw the removals and reinterments, from the cemeteries of Gilboa, to make way for this new reservoir. Many thanks go to Mr. Edward J. Stanton, Manager, Office of Claims, Bureau of Water Supply, the City of New York Department of Environmental Protection, for providing us with the data regarding these removals and reinterments. In the listing for this page, it has been sorted alphabetically by name of occupant of grave. Using the parcel no. next to your ancestor, refer to the list below to find name of cemetery of original interment.
