Here are some photos of the Old Hurley Burial Ground in Hurley, NY. Hurley was settled by the Dutch prior to 1660. The burial ground contains many field stones. Many of them have no inscriptions and some are inscribed in the Dutch language. The earliest decipherable stone is 1715. This burial ground is one of the oldest in Ulster County and is in good condition. The stones are fascinating to look at and a great recording of history.
This stone is called a Dutch pillar and is carved only with initials and year, month and day of death.
