Oneida Dispatch, August 25, 1913:
Relatives' Names Wanted of Persons Buried in the Old
Elizabeth Cemetery.

For many years the old Cemetery east of Elizabeth street has not been used and has gradually fallen into
a neglected and overgrown condition, many of the stones being overturned and broken. Laid out when Oneida
was but a small village, there was no cemetery association formed for its perpetual care. The last
burial was in 1875. Since that time many bodies have been removed to Glenwood and elsewhere by friends,
and of those still remaining many belong to families scattered or not living. For this reason there
seems to be no hope of improvement in the suitable care of the whole. Therefore a movement has been
started by the City federation of Women's Clubs.

....
			Most sincerely yours,
				Mrs. H. D. Fearon, Chairman.
				
Committee--Mrs. C. M. Ruggles, Secretary; Miss Lily Higginbotham; Mrs. C. A. Frost, Mrs. Daniel Keating,
Mrs. C. H. Bentley, Mrs. W. S. Child, Mrs. Frank Farnam.
