From the notes of Dorothy Ostrander, past Town of Groton Historian, the first two headstones in this record
"...are the only two stones found in what used to be a large cemetery on the present Orry Ostrander farm. They say the cemetery once
covered 7 acres. Many stones were removed and used as the foundation in part of the barn. Also, when Orry Ostrander decided to move
his sidewalk one day, he found the stones to be gravestones too. All that remains of the cemetery itself is a brushy area with a
couple trees approximately 12' by 25' and the two stones above although there may be more stones buried under the rubble that has been
dumped there (stones off the plowed field) over the years. Headstones have been recorded as read to include misspelling."
The next 8 headstone inscriptions in this record are from the stones that
were used as the sidewalk at the Orry Ostrander farm.
From the notes of Isabelle Parish, past Town of Lansing Historian, "People removed
all the stones from this cemetery and they were standing beside a garage by one of the houses on the road. The cemetery
itself is in one of the fields; unsure which one.
Written August 18, 1953 by S. Haring and I. Parish: Back of the house now owned by Orrie Ostrander
on Locke Road, just east of where the new road to Locke turns north-east.
We were told there were no stones left where the cemetery was. Mr. Ostrander found many in the barn wall
when he moved there some twenty years ago. There were perhaps 25 gravestones."
Taken from the local history book, North Lansing's Remembrance of Things Past, "The Lane Cemetery:
Two acres surrounded by a large iron fence about one half mile back from Breed Road constitutes
the Lane Cemetery. Many of the headstones from the cemetery were used in the foundation of the barn which is still standing
on the Orry Ostrander farm. Most of the rest of them were used
in a sidewalk which leads from the front porch to the edge of the driveway, then from the other side on the lawn to an
old well. In 1960, there were only two head stones still standing. They
are in a field at the top of the hill standing under a large old hickory nut tree. It is said that Mr.
Lane was the first person who owned the land. Then John Buckley bought the farm from
Lane. The goverment then bought the land from Mr. Buckley. Mr. Orry Ostrander who still owns the farm, bought
it from the government in 1938."
