Binghamton's oldest cemetery, a little plot of 27 graves in the rear of Christ Church, Episcopal, soon will be a memory. Workman began to remove the bodies, some of which have rested there for 100 years. The remains will be transferred to Spring Forest Cemetery in Binghamton, Lee Cemetery, Kattelville and Cemetery in Rye, NY. The church graveyard in the heart of Binghamton's downtown district dates from the building of the first church in 1810.
