This cemetery is located in the town of Hartwick, Otsego Co., New York at 
the corners of Schweitzer and Maples Roads, on a hill about 1.6 miles 
East-Southeast from the center of town. (Approximately -75.02209° 42.65098; 
or if I calculated correctly, 75° 01" 19.5’E  42° 39" 03.5’N).
I have been told that across the street (to the north) is 
a foundation where the Maples home once stood.  

These inscriptions were copied on October 10, 1999.  I’ve tried to include 
condition of the stones as well as the inscriptions.  I did not, however, 
proofread all these for correctness, so some caution is advised.  Since a 
Revolutionary War Vet is buried here, this info may also be available 
through the DAR.
