BAKER CEMETERY

In Memory of Lucy Baker
Only Daughter of Elder Nathan Baker,
who departed this life
July 3, 1803

        The above is the earliest burial found, which indicates the cemetery is very old.  
The stone itself is very unique, and has withstood the elements remarkably.  The letter cutting 
is similar to a unical type. Elder Nathan Baker is mentioned in early church history.  He was 
one of the members who formed the Baptist Society at Fayetteville as early as 1800.  He was among 
the early members of the Pompey and Manlius Church

        The Baker Cemetery is located on the west side of Pompey Center Road.  It is situated 
in a wooded area about three miles north of Pompey Center on Town Lot 31.
