Photos of Old Frenchtown Cemetery
Listing is incomplete pending more work
|
| This Old cemetery is on State Route 2014 as it loops around in the
bend of the Susquehanna on the way to the Aslyum Methodist Church and the
present day Frenchtown Cemetery. This old cemetery is in two sections.
This monument at the top is in a field where the road turns. It is surrounded
by a metal bar fence and you really can't miss it. The other and much larger
part of the cemetery is in the woods beside the field and that would be
easy to miss. It is, however, adjacent to the road and very easy to get
to.
September 1999 photos by Joyce M. Tice and the May 2000 photos are by Dick McCracken & Joyce M. Tice. Update :: In early May of 2000, logs were removed, at the request of the landowner, as a first step in getting this cemetery into better condition. Many of the stones have fallen over and been covered with leaves and growth. As of May 6, some of the stones have been read by our local crew, but many others have to be dug up and that will take some time - and EFFORT. At left below, Kevin, Lynn, Ken and Pat demonstrate Team Work at Old Frenchtown. |
