Emersons Corners Cemetery is located on the south side of Ballard Road, near Northway exit 16, in the hamlet of Gurn Spring, Town of Wilton, Saratoga County, New York State.
Interments date from the late 1700's to the early 1900's. Emersons Corners Cemetery has also been known as the Old Gurn Spring Cemetery, to differentiate it from the newer cemetery which is directly across Ballard Road and is an active cemetery.
In 1876, Cornelius Durkee recorded 260 inscriptions at the Emersons Corners Cemetery and located it "adjoining and on the east side of the M.E. Church at Emersons Corners." The old church building still stands.
Stones from the Perry Cemetery, can also be found relocated here in a small group in the southeast corner of the Emersons Corners Cemetery. In 1877, Cornelius Durkee recorded 18 inscriptions at the Perry Cemetery and located it "about a quarter of a mile west of the hamlet known as Doe's Corners on a road leading to the Town of Greenfield." Only 12 of those Perry Cemetery stones are found in 2015 at Emersons Corners Cemetery, however all 18 names are included in this list.
