Since this page was originally made, a cemetery listing has surfaced, giving us the first list of 20 graves, February 2017. Since that time, April 12, 2017, the cemetery has been located and photgraphed. It will take several return visits to determine if more grave markers can be located. The area is over grown with weeds, pricker bushes and ticks. The cemetery is surrounded by a large farmer's field. There are two deciduous trees growing in the burial area. To the south of the burial ground is a stand of pines. On the other side of the pines is the Chemung Spring Water Building and past that is County Rt. 60 intersecting with Rotary Rd., approximately one mile east of the Town of Chemung proper.
Please check back, we hope to add more photos soon
