Joyce's Search Tip - December 2007 -
Do You Know that you can search just the Bradford County Cemetery Records on the site by using the Cemeteries -Bradford button in the Partitioned search engine at the bottom of the Current What's New Page? If you use that partition follow these steps to search just one cemetery. 
1. Choose Cemeteries - Bradford. 
2. Enter part of the cemetery name [ie Ballard or Berrytown] AND a surname. 
3. Choose the Find ALL Words option. Then it will find just the pages with that surname in the one cemetery you indicated.

Joyce,

Recently I was corresponding with Matt Carl, of the LeRoy Heritage Museum about the Bradford Co pioneer, Elizabeth OAKLEY Holcomb, who is buried in the LeRoy Cemetery. I decided to take a look at the cemetery listing on Tri Co Website and that's when I discovered that there had been an error on the cemetery listing, I'm not certain that her date of birth is known but she died in 1801.  On page 2 of the LeRoy Cemetery she is listed as born 1801 died 1932 (which are the dates on the monument that marks her grave, but that's a memorial to her and not her tombstone).  The 1932 date is when the memorial to her was placed in the cemetery and what that reads should really be included in the reading of the cemetery because Elizabeth was the first person buried in LeRoy Cemetery.
Thanks, Joyce, I knew you'd want to know.

I am adding the following note from a guest. Without going to the cemetery to check I cannot determine if the entry on our site is a typo or not. No documentation was submitted to confirm the proposed change.JMT Apr 2012

Thank you so much for the work you have done in setting up this Website.  It is truly a labor of love.  I am the 5th great grandaughter of Eli Holcomb through Sterling, Harvey, Mahlon Day and Minnie Anna Holcomb.  Mahlon was a Civil War soldier who survived Andersonville Prison.

I found that the cemetery listing has Sterling dying in 1830, but it should read March 22, 1850.  If someone would correct that, I would very much appreciate it.  Jan
