"The body of Cosgrove, the suicide, was temporarily buried in the Cohoes cemetery in a way that it could be easily disinterred if the body was identified and friends wished to see it, and it is reported that hogs, dogs […] can be seen daily preying on the decomposed remains that are now fully exposed to public view."
"State Items." Buffalo Courier & Republic. September 10, 1875

Presumably reinterred from Cohoes' Columbia Street City Cemetery to Cohoes' section of Crescent Union Cemetery in or around 1897.

"The cemetery committee reported that it had caused to be removed 981 bodies from the old city cemetery; that 949 had been reinterred at Crescent, thirteen at Oakwood, twelve at Waterford and seven at Albany Rural. The cost of removal was $2,044.45. There are still three bodies in the old plat. The report was accepted."
"The Old Cemetery." Troy Daily Times. February 17, 1897: 4 col 4.
