Tompkins (June 21, 1774 – June 11, 1825) was the fourth governor of New York from 1807 to 1817 and the sixth vice president of the United States from 1817 to 1825. He is buried here in the west churchyard.
Our local park, opened in 1834, is named after Tompkins — as is, somewhat tangentially, a bagel shop.
