Portlandville had become quite prosperous, a good business &
supported three Churches but no Cemetery; consequently a
Company was organized & the present Pine Grove Cemetery was
established in 1861. (From : “ Early History of Milford &
Other Parts of Otsego County “ by Ezra Stevens) Pine Grove Cemetery, Portlandville, Town of Milford, Otsego
County, NY. This cemetery has no sign and is located on the
top of a hill off State Hwy. # 28 (near old schoolhouse).
Several hundred stones are scattered all over the hill on
uneven ground. Despite a few recent burials, much of it is
very overgrown, some stones face down, many are broken.This is NOT a complete listing These stones recorded October 2008 by Barb Anderson Sabatke: Van Etten, Eli d.
