Dear Joyce,
I continue to enjoy your Tri County web site,
looking for any new items you have for Bradford County, especially
for Windham and Wilmot Townships.
A friend and neighbor, Beth French,
who shares with me an interest in local history, lives on French
Road, which starts in Windham Twp. and continues west and connects
into N. Macafee Road in Litchfield Twp. Among the Windham Cemetery
listings on your Web site, you have a recent letter regarding an
Andrew Brainard being buried on a hill in a cemetery at the corner of Cleveland
and N. Macafee Road. The letter stirred Beth's and my interest,
as she knew where this cemetery was. We decided to go there and trace
the stones as best we could. This cemetery is located in Litchfield
Twp., not Windham Twp.
The picture of the stone that Candy sent to
you shows one of the very few that is legible and upright. Most of
the stones are tipped over, broken, and unreadable. But we
copied what we could make out. A little info such as questionable
letters in names, I obtained from the Litchfield censuses.
Guess a little is better than none!
Incidentally, I've also emailed Candy,
at the email address from her letter to you, to introduce myself and to
tell her what we found.
As in previous contacts with you, I
don't have the capability to copy this cemetery listing on the format you
need. Thus I am wondering if you have Pat Raymond or someone
available to do so? I will send info for this cemetery in another
email. Uncertain, but I don't believe that there is a name
for this cemetery.
Sincerely,
Florence Ellis
P.S. Incidentally, my email address has been changed since previous correspondence with you. It is now: g18837f@epix.net
