A burying ground was unavoidably one of the first provisions made by the pi-- oneers who settled the village of Canandaigua. Although no minute of the fact appears in the official records, either in the village clerk's office or in the county clerk's office, it is safe to assume that the plotting made by the direction of the original purchasers, Phelps and Gorham, set apart the piece of ground on -the south side of what was then Cross street, but is now known as West avenue, for this purpose. It was in this lot, consisting of one acre, which first appears in the county's records as an exception from a parcel of land conveyed by Oliver Phelps to Thaddeus Chapin, August 14, 1797, that the remains of the first white man who died in the infant settlement were interred. This was in August, 1790, and a weather-worn stone now stands over the spot where on the 11th of that month the body of Captain Caleb Walker, brother of Mr. William Walker, the agent of Phelps and Gorham, was laid to rest, the Church of England burial service being read by a layman in the absence of any ordained clergyman. There were only eighteen (3) View of the Older Portion Looking East. families in the settlement at that time, but, as the quaint old headstones of this his- toric God's acre abundantly testify, the Walker grave did not remain long alone. "Within a few years it was surrounded by a score or more of memorials recording the death of other pioneers. In January, 1826, a little more than thirty-five years following the original settlement, the records show that the addition located immediaely east of and ad- joining what had even then become the "old" burial place was conveyed by Thad- deus Chapin to a number of individuals representing prominent families in town, together with the wardens and vestrymen of St. John's Church and the trustees of the First Congregational Church. The parcel thus conveyed, "which the party of the first part laid out, and walled with stone on the south and east sides thereof during the past year, as an appendage or addition to the old burial place," was subdivided into thirty-two small lots, distributed among the grantees mentioned. In this addition were interred in the years following the remains of many of the leading men and women of Canandaigua, which had become in 1815 a duly incor- porated village. Only fifteen years later, August 14, 1841, the president, directors and company of the Ontario Bank and Moses Atwater and Panthea Atwater his wife, conveyed to the trustees of the village of Canandaigua, for a consideration of $700, a plot of i5) Tomb of Hon. OUver Phelps. three and one-half acres of land lying north of Cross street, "nearly opposite," the deed recites, "to the present burying ground," for the purposes of a new burying ground. It was provided in the deed "that the said parties of the second part shall at all times keep the above premises under good fence," and that the said trustees shall "set apart a lot on said premises to the said Moses Atwater for a family burying place." On May 7, 1860, an addition of two and one-half acres was made to this new burying ground, adjoining its east side, by deed made by Henry O. Chesebro and wife to the trustees of the village, for a consideration of $3,000. The west line of this cemetery property was moved twelve feet to the west on September 11, 1871, by deed of the heirs of Albert Lester to the trustees of the village. This comprises in brief the history of the first burial grounds or cemeteries in Canandaigua. For many years these afforded ample room for the ever increas- ing ranks of the dead and today, peopled as they are by the memories of nearly one hundred and twenty years of village history, they are a heritage which must forever be held sacred and should forever receive the loving and generous care of the community.

Y., to the Common Council, in its annual budget for the year 1917. (Dated, November 21st, 1916.) "The Board of Public Works have in the past year had their attention called to the conditions which exist in the cemetery on the south side of West avenue, but owing to the fact that no funds have been available for the purpose of repairing the tomb stones and grading the lots, nothing has been done. It would be appre- ciated by the citizens of Canandaigua and non-residents who have ancestors bur- ied at this place and for the historical associations connected with it if a trust fund could be created amounting to approximately |10,000. If this amount could be raised, it would be necessary to pay about $2,500 for' repairs to the tomb stones, graves, etc., which would leave $7,500. This amount could be placed at interest or invested and the income derived from the same used for the maintenance and care of the cemetery. We would recommend that the city officials take this matter up with those who have some of their ancestors buried in this cemetery and see if such a fund cannot be raised." (9) View of Newer Portion, Looking East. tbc QuardiansMp of a lioly Crust The foregoing recommendation by the Board of Public Works calls attention to a sacred responsibility, which, while it rests primarily, of course, upon those whose ancestors and other relatives and friends are buried in the "Old Cemetery," will also, no doubt, be willingly shared by many others. There are, indeed, several persons who simply out of respect for the memory of the earlier residents of Canandaigua whose remains are lying there, and for the sake of its historical associations, have expressed the feeling that this cemetery ought to be more carefully looked after, and who have already shown in many ways a tender and practical interest in its appearance and in the care of the neg- lected graves and monuments. As appears from the accompanying views, many of the lots are in good con- dition, showing evidences of systematic care; while others, in painful contrast, have suffered from long-continued neglect. In many places the ground has caved in, not only setting the head-stones and monuments awry, but making it difficult to visit the lots; while not a few of the graves, and most of the paths, are entirely overgrown with rank grass. Several of the monuments have fallen down, and in some instances, where time and weather have split the stones, the Inscriptions, (12) having peeled off, lie where they have fallen, waiting for the reverent attention of the living to replace them. This booklet has been prepared to call attention to these conditions in the be- lief that when they are generally known the recommendation of the Board that a trust-fund be created will commend itself to all as the only means of ensuring such uniform and permanent care of the whole cemetery as will make it worthy of beautiful Canandaigua. The Common Council is prepared to receive and administer such a fund, con- tributions to which, whether by present gift or bequest, should be made by using either of the following forms. A Form to Be Used by Persons Desirins- to Contribute Toward an Endo^vnient Fund During Their Liife-Time. Petition to Deposit moneys for gemetery trust Tund. TO THE COMMON COUNCIL OP THE CITY OP CANANDAIGUA:— This is to certify that I have deposited with the city clerk of the City of Can- andaigua the sum of Dollars ($.. ), (13) and I hereby tender to said city through your Honorable Board said sum of money, the same to be held in trust by said city for the following uses and purposes: Said principal sum to be deposited in such banks, or invested in such interest bearing securities as may be proper and legal, and the income therefrom to be ex- pended in preserving, beautifying and maintaining generally that cemetery located on the south side of West Avenue in said city and commonly known as the "Old Cemetery." It is my intention to hereby create, or add to it if such a fund has been heretofore created, an endowment fund to be administered, for the purposes hereinbefore set forth, by said city, through such of its officials as are empowered so to do by the charter of said city. And I hereby empower and direct said city and its said proper officials to do and perform any and all act or acts which may be necessary for carrying out the intent and purpose of this gift.

(14) Form to Be Used by Persons Desiring to Contribute by Bequest Toward Establishing- an Endo^vnient Fund for tUe General Maintenance of the "Old Cemetery." I hereby give and bequeath unto the City of Canandaigua, New York State, the sum of Dollars ($ ), the same to be held in trust by said City for the following uses and purposes: Said principal sum to be deposited in such banks, or invested in such interest-bearing securities as may be proper and legal, and the income therefrom to be expended in preserving, beautifying and maintaining generally that cemetery located on the south side of West Avenue in said City and known as "The Old Cemetery."

Dated at this day of ,19 Post Office Address. (15) n Sum needed for Present Expenditure Hpart from the trust fund. It will be noted from the recommendation of the Board of Public Works, printed on page 9 of this booklet, that there is need of an immediate expendi- ture of about $2500 for necessary permanent improvements to the cemetery. It is therefore suggested that some of the persons interested in the restoration and main- tenance of the cemetery assist in raising the sum of $2500, which, of course, would not be a part of the trust fund, but would be used in putting the cemetery in such condition that it could thereafter be maintained by the income from the trust fund. Persons desiring to contribute to this fund should communicate their purpose to the City Clerk of Canandaigua City with the request that the matter be presented to the Common Council. NOTE — In case of a bequest or gift, all communications relative to the same should be addressed to the City Clerk, Canandaigua, N, Y. All bequests and gifts must, before becoming effective, be accepted by the City of Canandaigua through the Common Council. If the same is accepted, an acceptance and receipt will be issued by the Con}mon Council.
