DISCUSSION HELD REGARDING PINE VIEW CEMETERY COMMISSION
Discussion was held regarding the responsibility of Town Board and
Cemetery Commission in the running of Pine View Cemtery and the
other nine abandon cemeteries..Former Supervisor H. Russell Harris
gave the following background information to the Town Board: I
really was the father of the Pine View Cemetery. The way it
happened it was a cemetery that was created by a group of people in
Glens Falls and Queensbury who put up some money to form a
corporation and sold bonds all over the country and the cemetery
went along well apparently for 30-40 years and then it sort of
slide down hill. The caretaker, there was never enough money left
there to pay a caretaker so he opened some graves and a few things
3
that money went whatever there was toward his pay. It was a firm
in New Jersey that was trying to take over the cemetery through a
local mortician. I happened to be Supervisor at that time and to
me it looked like a very bad deal for the Town of Queensbury to
have a company move in and lay out more lots sell them and then
move out quickly and take the money with them, and leave the
cemetery to go to pieces. I approached the Town Board about it,
the Town Board was a little bit leary about getting into the
cemetery business and we sort of went over it for a month or two
and decided that something did have to be done and we went to the
courts and the courts said that we had to notify every person of
record that had a bond that they hadn't been paid and there were a
lot of them. We went at it and notified every bond holder of
record we could find and only one person responsed and that was a
man in California who had two or three of the bonds. He sent them
back saying he would donate them to the Town, they did not mean
anything to him. So the financial end of the old Pine View Cemetery
was cleared up, and allowed the Town of Queensbury or one dollar to
buy that corporation out, which it did...(late 47 or 1948) ..I was
Supervisor from 1946 until 1959. Then we ran up against another
problem, no second class town in the State of New York ever had a
legal Cemetery Commission, so the thing they had to do was to go
before the Legislature of both houses and ask to have a Cemetery
Commission legally created in the Town of Queensbury. So, both
houses adopted it and created the law that we have here. Then they
had to appoint the Cemetery Commissioners. The abandon cemeteries
had never had anyone to care for them, the old families did and
they passed away, the grange took over cleaning up some of the
abandoned cemeteries and they did it for free and then somewhere
along the line the Town decided that was hardly right for people to
go clean it up a couple of times a year
