Saint Johns Cemetery began as the cemetery for St. John's Church which became the present St. Augustine's Church. The land was purchased from Philip O'Neil, Jr. It began receiving burials in about 1869. It has the graves of many of the Lansingburgh Roman Catholic community, and military veterans of the US Civil War, World War I, World War II, Korea and Vietnam. It is an active cemetery. The angels in the cemetery were relocated there from the church because they were too immense in weight for the church.


The entrance to St. John's Cemetery is on Cemetery Road just south of the intersection of Cemetery Road and Gurley Avenue in the northeast portion of Troy. St. John's Cemetery is managed by Albany Diocesan Cemeteries. There may also be records available from St. Augustine's parish office in Lansingburgh. (Troy annexed Lansingburgh in 1900.
