Острый захоронение , также известный как кладбище Авеню Олбани , расположена на Олбани -авеню ( Нью -Йорк 32 ) в Кингстоне , штат Нью -Йорк, США. Это небольшая могильская почва, используемая в средние десятилетия 19 -го века, до того, как более крупные сельские кладбища стали обычным явлением, но после того, как церковные дворы стали слишком полными для дальнейших захоронения. Позже, когда они открылись, многие тела были удалены, чтобы консолидировать их с большими семейными участками там. Двое бывших конгрессменов все еще среди тех, кто похоронен в Шарпе.
Он содержит несколько интересных примеров погребального искусства того периода, в частности, большой памятник его основателю Эдварду О'Нилу. Это впало в пренебрежение и разрушение на протяжении большей части 20 -го века, но было очищено и восстановлено местной исторической группой по сохранению в 1990 -х годах. В 2002 году он был перечислен в Национальном реестре исторических мест в рамках исторических и архитектурных ресурсов на Авеню Олбани, Кингстон, округ Ольстер, представленная подставка имущества (MPS). Это единственное кладбище в округе Ольстер, указанное в реестре самостоятельно.
Property
[ редактировать ]The cemetery is located on the east side of Albany where it turns to the northeast just 400 feet (120 m) east of its junction with Interstate 587 and NY 28, one of the main western entrances to the city. It is a rectangular 1.6-acre (6,500 m2) parcel bounded on the south by a former railroad right-of-way that curves slightly to the southwest. On the north and east its boundaries are the property lines of homes on Albany and Elmendorf streets respectively.[1]
Its neighborhood is residential, with most houses dating to the late 19th century. Four other houses in the neighborhood, those of John Smith, George J. Smith and Jacob Ten Broeck, as well as 184 Albany Avenue, are listed on the National Register as well.[1]
An iron fence, with gate in the middle, runs along the sidewalk. It is of modern construction and thus not considered a contributing resource to the cemetery's historic character. The cemetery plot is level, with a few mature trees and plantings. The gravestones are located in irregular groupings, with no trace of any grid or plan evident. Two large monuments stand out: a tall vase-shaped marker for Edward O'Neil, and an obelisk for Abraham Hasbrouck, a former state legislator and U.S. congressman.[1]
History
[edit]Records and markers suggest that part of the land was in use as a cemetery as early as 1810. Its formal use for that purpose dates to 1832, when Edward O'Neil surveyed it and made a plan for 210 graves. The lots grew larger from the rear to the front, where subdivisions of 330 square feet (30.7 m2) had been reserved for the major religious denominations in town.[1]
The Sharp cemetery is typical of a post-settlement era. Churchyards dating to colonial times had begun to fill up, and with the village rapidly growing a rural cemetery would have set aside too much land. Burying grounds, usually on the outskirts of communities, were large enough and rationally planned to handle the extra graves for the foreseeable future.[1]
Some of the graves exemplify the funerary art trends of mid-19th century American Protestantism. O'Neil's own grave, from 1856, is in a vase shape with carved laurel wreath, representing his memory. The willow and urn, representing sadness and the soul of the deceased respectively, are also found on a number of graves from this period.[1]
The last burials took place in the 1870s. By then the larger Montrepose and Wiltwyck rural cemeteries had opened further from what was by then the city, and many families had relatives who had been buried in Sharp moved to family plots in those graveyards. A decade later, Nathaniel Bartlett Sylvester wrote in his history of the county that the old Sharp Burial Ground was "very handsome", but appeared to be getting neglected because of all the moved graves.
That decline continued until 1995, when Friends of Historic Kingston (FOHK), a local group devoted to preserving the city's historic buildings, structures and sites, cleaned it up and restored the surviving stones. At this time the fence and gate were also added.[1] FOHK continues to maintain the cemetery.[3]
