Has anyone noticed the old LaGrange Cemetery in Slingerlands? It is located at the end of Vista Blvd behind the new Shop Rite off Rt 85 or New Scotland Road. It is a very small old cemetery with very few stones. Four larger stones are very prominent with a few small stones behind them. We are fortunate that this old farmer's cemetery was not lost to the development of the new commercial development occurring there. Perhaps the previous owner of the land knew of the small cemetery and stated to the developers that the cemetery must stay and the development be built around it? Either way the cemetery still stands.
