Excerpt from Cemetery Inscriptions: Town of Spencer, New York, 1795-1906
Very soon after the completion of a few isolated cabins within the present limits of the town, a young man of seventeen, Prescott Hobart, was stricken down. His name is first on the long roll of Spencer's dead. He was buried on his father's farm until land was set off from the estate of Joseph Barker, about 1800, for cemetery purposes in Drake Settlement, now Spencer. This is the old cemetery opposite the Presbyterian church. Mr. Andrew Butts says that the first cemetery was on the ground now used by the High School as an athletic field, but that the spot was soon given up because it was not adapted to cemetery purposes.
