Fultonville Cemetery

Old Fultonville Cemetery, also known as the Old Village Cemetery or the Protestant Dutch Church Burying Ground, is a modestly sized municipal cemetery in Fultonville, New York. The cemetery was originally the burying ground for the Protestant Dutch Church of Fultonville, but in 1850, was transferred to the village.

Many influential Fultonville's history are buried there. John H. Starin and Thomas R. Horton, U.S. Representatives from New York, are interred there. See more about John H. Starin below.

The newly appointed village historian is conducting a revitalization project in the cemetery by cleaning, repairing, and replacing stones.

The Starin Mausoleum

The Starin Mausoleum was constructed in Old Fultonville Cemetery before 1889. The building was approximately 45 feet tall, 25 feet across, and 15 feet deep. The Starin mausoleum no longer stands in Fultonville Cemetery, yet remnants of the foundation can still be found. When John H. Starin died in 1909, he left a sum of money to the village of Fultonville to take care of the mausoleum. In the 1970s the mausoleum began to fall into disrepair. Sometime around this time, it was also vandalized on Halloween by a group of teenagers, who destroyed most of the caskets and bodies. In the summer of 1975 the mausoleum was taken down and the remains that were left in the mausoleum were re-interred in front of where it once stood and markers were placed on the graves. At the point of the demolition, which Jake Stevens headed, there was very little left to the mausoleum. Today, a modest upright granite slab with a bronze face marks his grave as well as his family member's graves.
