The Town of Sweden, with the help of volunteers, maintains 13 cemeteries. This includes the Nevers Tomb, where Col. Samuel Nevers and his wife were buried across the road from their home. Col. Nevers was an early settler of the town, coming to the area in 1791.
On 19th century maps of Sweden, the Goshen Cemetery is shown in the northeast corner of the town. There is uncertainty about who might be buried there as there are no inscribed markers. Rather, there are unmarked field stones apparently marking the graves.
There are about 100 veterans memorialized in Sweden’s cemeteries representing all services and most conflicts.
