Commack Public Cemetery
		The Commack Cemetery was established in c.1850 for use by the community as the small graveyard behind the Methodist Church was nearing its capacity. Caleb Smith III donated the land, which had been a comer field in the back of his large farm. A rich mix of Commack’s past can be found here from Stately Congressmen and  Senators to the local Blacksmith and Cobbler.
		These are the head stones of Caleb and Elizabeth Smith and are the oldest in the cemetery.			These are the headstones of Caleb Smith II and his descendents. The large one on the end is Robert Smith, son of Caleb Smith III, the last Smith to live on the land and who sold his farm to Carll Burr, which was the early beginning of Burr Reality.
		The Burr family was one of the earliest settlers of Commack and helped establish the Methodist Church. They were fundamental in horse breeding and Harness Racing and Carll S. Burr III went on to become a U.S. Senator.
					Smith Burr began breeding horses on his farm and was soon producing the country’s top racehorses. He helped pioneer Harness racing and at one point 3 Hotels were needed to hold the crowds coming to Commack on the weekends for the races.
		The Hubbs family was one of the early settlers of Commack and James Hubbs held Methodist Prayer Meetings in his house before the church was built.
					Orlando Hubbs began work as a carriage maker and shipbuilder until he moved to North Carolina to open a store and was elected Congressman for the state in 1880. He returned to New York and continued to pursue politics where he became a New York Assemblyman in 1902 and then Senator in 1910.
		The Carll family settled here in c1701 and their original farm is still located on Commack Rd. They helped establish the Commack School system and were founding members of the Fire Department. Marion Carll donated the farm to the Commack School District after her death in 1968.
