PIERCE FAMILY CEMETERY

This cemetery is located in the Town of Harpersfield on Streeter Hill Road between Champlin Road and Teedle Brook Road. It is on a bank above the road and is surrounded by a stone wall.

TITUS LAKE CEMETERY

I am not sure as to the actual location of the cemetery. It says it is near the intersection of Titus Lake Road and South Worcester Road and in the Town of Harpersfield. The intersection is, indeed, in the town of Harpersfield, but a map in the same book indicates it is located in Otsego County on Titus Hill Road. These locations are not far apart and I would suggest traveling to both. Located up above the road with a surrounding stone wall in the woods. Many stones broken and unmarked sunken graves.
