Joyce's Search Tip - December 2007 -
Do You Know that you can search just the 860 pages of Chemung County Cemetery Records on the site by using the Cemeteries -Chemung 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 - Chemung
2. Enter part of the cemetery name [ie Comfort or Carr] 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. 

Bentley Cemetery

Veteran, Chemung County, New York
Greene / Bentley Cemetery
 
This small cemetery is located on the West side of NYS Route 14N just as you leave the village of Millport, Town of Veteran, Chemung Co., N.Y.  When the new road was put through this area many years ago, approximately half of the stones in the cemetery were destroyed.  This updated listing done on November 27, 2006 is a combination of the reading from the 1930’s and an actual reading done on Sunday November 26, 2006.  On that date all of the stones were photographed and placed on a CD.  A (+) indicates the whole stone or part of it still exists.  A (–) indicates the stone no longer exists due to it being missing / destroyed.  The next door neighbor does a nice job mowing in front of and trimming between the existing stones.
