The Gilbert Cemetery is a small, neighborhood cemetery on the south side of Pleasant Valley Road in the Town of Onondaga, halfway between Marcellus and Cedarvale. The cemetery was originally on the north side of Pleasant Valley Road, where it intersects with Kasson Road. Because the site was low and wet, however, it was decided to move the bodies which could be moved, to the present location, on land given for the purpose by Ichabod Gilbert and either the Whites or Capt. Terry. Besides some bodies probably remaining on the original site, it is certain that the present cemetery includes many unmarked graves, for it is said to be full. Thus many early burials will never be accounted for. I am indebted to Winifred Gilbert Brown for what information is available on the history of this cemetery, and for bits of her family history included in this historic burial ground.
