Updated by John Rudy, Pompey Resident & Eagle Scout

I restored this cemetery for my Eagle Scout project, and thus have a complete listing of it's residents.

First, the cemetery's true name is Blocktown Cemetery, as listed on town deeds.  Located on no. 5 Rd. at the corner of Pompey Center Rd. in Pompey.  The earliest burial we've found occured in 1811, the last being in 1901.  Blocktown Cemetery is a real gem, set back from the road on a low rise in a grove of mostly maple trees.  The area is the final resting place of between 40 and 50 people.  Attached is a list of every tombstone we came upon in the plot, each with name, birth and death dates. I have boatloads of information also, ie. condition of the stones, location, dimensions and such.  If anyone would like this info, please, don't hesitate to E-Mail me at: [email protected]   The full book produced for the project is available for viewing at the Pompey Town Museum, Rt. 20, Pompey Center.  The museum is open Sundays from 2-4 p.m.
