The listing for the Toddsville/Fly Creek Cemetery is actually the Adams Cemetery, not the same cemetery that is in Toddsville. There is unfortunately, no listing for this cemetery online and what's at the historical society in Cooperstown is a partial listing. Larry Gardner (historian of Toddsville) told me that the original listing was missing quite some time ago. Anyhow, I am trying to find out who was buried in the Hope burying ground to add to a listing I am compiling from obituaries of the people buried in the Toddsville Cemetery. This cemetery is in bad shape and there is no cemetery association to take care of it. There are burials as recent as the 1960's there! Many of the stones are broken or missing. If I lived closer I would care for the cemetery... Further investigation into this Hope burying grounds led me to believe it was located somewhere near "Hop City". James Clark was the owner of the land where the burying grounds was located and from which "Hops City" arose. So far this is all I was able to find out. Thanks for any help you can give!
