On visit to Chemung Village Cemetery last year. There is a headstone for Winona Ardis Wiggins my husbands sister. She was born April 11, 1935, and died April 12, 1935 . His parents are buried there too. Cemetery records are incorrect on middle name of his father, Emery Linus Wiggins b. March 16, 1891, and died December 1, 1970. His mother was Anne May Smith Wiggins b. December 3, 1901 and died October 3, 1983.

Sincerely,
Patricia and Ralph Wiggins
