Lot 78, south side of Currie Road, on private property in Preble, New York.



An early burial ground by 1800 in Tully Township (Onondaga County), it became a Congregational cemetery with the creation of the religious society. In 1808, when Preble became a township of Cortland County, the meetinghouse church was reformed to Presbyterian and the cemetery was renamed "The Presbyterian Cemetery" on "the crossroad". It was used until shortly after Elmwood Cemetery was erected in Preble Center. Citizens were allowed to re-inter their relations that now left the Presbyterian cemetery sparse. The remaining headstones were inventoried in the 1930's and again in the 1950's. The headstones were then reset in two rows, north to south, on the west side of the cemetery. Many stones were found to be missing, damaged, or destroyed since the 1930's.
