Sherman-Moore Cemetery

Sherman-Moore Cemetery
Trenton, N.Y.

This cemetery is located on the hill in back of the site of the Trenton Falls Hotel on the property
belonging to the Niagara Mohawk. The hotel burned many years ago but there is a stone marker
and plaque placed on the site. Access to the cemetery is restricted and the Niagara Mohawk
property is fenced and posted.

The cemetery is surrounded by a large wrought iron fence and the area is well maintained. This
was a private family burial ground for the Sherman Family.

The tombstones in this cemetery were transcribed by Kathleen Last and Virginia Ackerman on
April 29, 2004.
