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.

Jenkins Cemetery
Read by Doris and Joseph Boyd
Read on August 30, 1974
Typed by Ruth BRYAN Coffelt of Gilbertsville, Pennsylvania
This burial ground is located on the east side of the Rumsey
Hill Road, a blacktop highway in the Town of Van Etten in Chemung County,
New York. The southern terminal of the road is its junction with
the Wynkoop Creek Road (County Route #3). It ends on the same road,
west of the village of Van Etten. The cemetery is located 4/10ths
of a mile south of the junction of the Rumsey Hill and Cross
Roads. The plot is mowed, free of weeds and brush, and measures about
100 feet by 75 feet. The plot has few broken markers, some on the
ground. There are more graves than the markers indicate, as there
are open spaces without tombstones and a few sunken grave sites.
There are probably many “lost” graves.
All the tombstones were read, many with the aid of chalk.
Data in brackets does not appear on the stones, but has been added for
historical interest. In the case of some wives and daughters, the
surname has been added for clarity.
