John's presence in Greenwood Cemetery is known only through a note in cemetery records concerning the burial of his widow in 1916. Although Section D, Lot 20, is shown as being owned by John Ortt, he was apparently buried elsewhere first. It is not clear whether he was first buried on a different lot in Greenwood, or in another cemetery. He was moved to Section D, Lot 20, in Feb 1914.

Date of birth is from the records of the United Church of Christ, USA, PA, Lehigh, Old Zionsville, found in Pennsylvania and New Jersey Church and Town Records, 1708-1985. Place of birth is from family. Date and place of death are from the New York Death Index, 1852-1956.
