Upper Corners CemeteryTown of MarionWayne County, NYPhotograph Contributed by and This little cemetery is located just a little South of the Sherman Cemetery near the "Y" of Route 21 and County Road 107. Going Easterly on 107 the cemetery is the second lot on the left from the corner. According to Wayne County historical records this cemetery was established in 1804. Some have said that many of the old graves that were originally there were later moved to Marion and other cemeteries. Although this old cemetery is now fenced in and totally overgrown with weeds and grass, one can still see where the grave markers were. The old slab brownstones and other grave markers have been discarded and are stacked and scattered about on the back of the lot. Who is left buried there now, if any, is unknown. But at one time there were many North Marion area people buried in the Upper Corners Cemetery. Some of them are included below. 2005 Driving Directions - on Rte. 21N to Marion make right turn onto County Road 403 (going into town).
