Early History of Chemung, as published in the Athens Gleaner, 1872, by Worden.
This publication is lengthy. On the 5th page is mention of a visual inventory, where Worden named off a few grave marker inscriptions. By doing so, he named a few names that we did not have listed. However, Sarah Baldwin,Wm and Joseph Foulke have since been moved to the Chemung Village Cemetery. We believe Mary Reiser d. 1866 aged 86 to still be buried there and perhaps her husband Daniel Reiser as well.
