Thomas Cemetery

Thomas cemetery is a small cemetery with around two dozen graves. It was very old, with graves going back to the early 1800s. It was nestled on top of a hill on Route 12A in Chenango Bridge, NY.

See my Thomas Cemetery photo album on Google+.

Route 12A is a small commercial strip
of road. In spite of that, Thomas Cemetery felt secluded and peaceful.  It was easy to forget about the road and businesses below.

In 2011, Price Chopper started construction. In order to get their parking lot the way that they wanted, they dug up all of the graves in Thomas Cemetery. After the store and lot construction were completed, they replaced the graves in a newly formulated Thomas Cemetery, next to the parking lot.

Although I am glad to have a Price Chopper here to give us another shopping option, I miss the old quirky Thomas Cemetery.
