"Vestal Center Cemetery at 2141 NYS Rte. 26 South. Perched on a hillside along the road that drops gently into “the Center”, this 1.4 acre cemetery is the resting place of many Vestal Center settlers. Jabish Truesdell, a Revolutionary War soldier who escorted General George Washington into New York holds a prominent place in the front row. The earliest grave marker is that of Lydia Truesdell who was “killed by the kick of a horse” in 1813. Once managed by the Vestal Center Cemetery Association, it is no longer an active cemetery and is maintained by the Town of Vestal. Incomplete burial records are supplemented with information compiled from grave markers and secondary sources. "
