Collinsville Cemetery (New York)

Collinsville Cemetery is at 4061 East Road, Lewis County, New York, near the settlement of West Turin.

The cemetery lacks formal paths, and is covered with grass, large maple trees, and some overgrown brush around the graves.

[1] As of March 2014[update], the cemetery was active and housed approximately 380 European–American graves, dating back to 1810, "often grouped by family".

[1] After the first New England settlers settled in Lyons Falls, New York, Collinsville Cemetery was established in 1810.

[1] This included removing 6 or 8 inches (150 or 200 mm) of earth to level the parcel; planting new grasses, shrubbery, and trees; repairing, resetting, and straightening all the tombstones; laying the 2-by-2+1⁄2-foot (0.61 by 0.76 m) east wall; and appointing a caretaker to maintain the property.
