Old Cemetery Also known as: Chapel Hill Cemetery or Old Town Cemetery and is on Chapel St. (Hwy #408) in the town of Mt. Morris. pre-dated the Mt. Morris Cemetery (est. circa 1859. It is about 1/2 mile east of the larger Mt. Morris Cemetery. This cemetery is mowed and stones are standing, but many of the stones are on the ground and many are not legible (possibly may need to be rubbed for possible identification). It is probably about an acre or so in size and contain over 250 burials. Some of the burials in this cemetery were likely moved there, from a earlier church or community cemetery a few blocks away, on Chapel between Clinton and Stanley Streets, that is now under Chapel Street. Lost remains at the church cemetery have been dug up as recent as 2005 during road construction and interred in the Mt Morris City Cemetery.

In 1846 "Old Cemetery" it was referred to as the "Old Town Cemetery" and had a pottery next door to it.

May 20, 1890 Rochester NY Democrat Chronicle-
"H. E., BROWN superintendent of the Mount Morris Cemetery Association has ordered his foreman P.J. KINGSTON to put in good order tho Old Cemetery which is right in the village and where no interments had been made in some years."
