Black Cemetery in Liberty Borough
Located by Rob Schwarz and Dave Darby on Information Received From
Harold Brown Using the Tioga County GIS System
Rob Schwarz GPS Coordinates
Location: A Small Deeded Cemetry 325 Yards North of SR 414 or Just
East of the Liberty High School Athletic Fields
[A small, old, deeded cemetery just east of the Liberty High School athletic fields. It virtually unknown by the residents of Liberty, Harold Brown a lifelong resident did seem to remember an old, small cemetery located between the High School and downtown Liberty. It was through the use of the Tioga County GIS System that a small parcel of land (.08 of an acre) was located. When the owner of this parcel was queried, the results came back Black Cemetery the owner. Rob Schwarz visited the site and there were at least two stones which were readily readable both with dates in the early 1800’s. There were other stones present but Rob did not attempt to read them. This cemetery should be read while some of the stones are readable. All stones are on the ground.]
January 2009 - I came across a photo of the Little Cemetery which is
below the present Liberty High School off Rt 414. It is a very early photo.
Thought perhaps you could use it for your cemeteries on your site. It came
from Lucille Kehler collection
I do not know the name of it but will try to find out. When I was there the stones were all over & in complete disarray. At that time it was a cow pasture Esther Note from Joyce - Sounds like Black Cemetery identified above. |

The burials are arranged in three rows:
ROW 1 Center is Obelisk to right of oblisk are two small stones: S B F B
(Obelisk reads: Frederick Boger 1808 – 1899 Sophia His Wife 1812 – 1889)
ROW 2 L to R D B S B D B J J B
ROW 3 L to R Blank Blank J B Blank Blank Blank S B
[Cemetery is well off the road and back in the woods and is in good shape for having so little care. A large obelisk facing east and overlooking a shallow valley measuring about 8 feet tall is the distinguishing mark of this family cemetery. It bears the names and dates of birth and death of Frederick Boger and Sophia, his wife. There are three rows of smaller stones measuring about 16 inches tall. The only inscriptions on these smaller stones are initials (8) and some are blank (5). The 1850 Census reported 13 Bogers living on a 75 acre farm in this area.]
