I have found in some cases, for this cemetery listing that the dates of death from the original cemetery list I used by the town, MAY BE the date of burial, rather than the date of death.  I did further research of newspapers, for correct dates of death.  If dates not in blue, then you should further check for the actual date of death, usually a variance of a few days.

This cemetery developed in 1870's from the farm of Clinton & Lucinda Rapalee. They had buried a young son at the top of the hill in 1862, but this plot is not part of the current cemetery and is on private property.

 Later, many prior burials from Barrington & Starkey were moved to this cemetery and in 1908 a cemetery association took over the cemetery. In 1927, the village of Dundee assumed maintenance and ownership of this cemetery.  This is still an active cemetery.
