Cairo
Cemetery
This large, active cemetery is very well maintained. It is located on Rte. 84
(Durham Road) just east of Main St., in the Village of Cairo. There is a stone
wall, which surrounds most of the cemetery.
Section One was partially transcribed by Linda Larsen
and April Saccoccio. The remainder of the cemetery was transcribed by Sylvia
Hasenkopf from August - October 2002

There are 16 sections in the cemetery. It is obvious that many plots either are
missing their headstone, or never had one, especially in the oldest sections of
the cemetery.
Spoons of Silver and Spoons of Tin and other Poems
By Benjamin Peck Keith
1921

In the Village Graveyard
Cairo, NY
Among the grass grown graves I stand,
A deathlike stillness fills the air,
Familiar names on every hand,
I read upon the headstones there.
I feel a sense of deep unrest,
Beyond the power of words to tell,
There is a sorrow in my breast,
The memory of a last farewell.
There is no poverty so great,
As that beneath the coffin clods;
Within the village graveyard gate,
There comes no answer from the gods.
The voice of love sounds no reply;
To our vain cries of deep despair,
And all our wealth of joys shall lie,
Full soon—as silent bankrupts there.
Still! Why repine and dwell with fear?
We cannot stay the hand of fate,
Dream on—of future home of cheer,
Beyond the open graveyard gate.
Yes! Dream with hope and trust in one;
A God who knows our every thought,
And rest assured, what He has done,
For some grand purpose has been wrought.
He would not mock our simple trust,
And bid His works return to clay,
All Nature answers—that we must
Meet somewhere’s, in the far away.
