H.P. Smith wrote in his History of Broome County, published in 1885:
“Hannah Lee was the first person buried there (Riverside Cemetery – Whitney Point, NY) which was done in 1791. It was an unbroken forest and remained so for many years, to a large extent. When a person died, a spot was chosen between the trees, and a grave dug under the shade of the old forest monarchs, where the winds of heaven sang mournful dirges in the branches.”
