Directions: Exit 59 (or 58) Chemung, off I-86, NY route 17. About
10 miles north on Wyncoop Creek Road. Left on Thayer Rd. Cemetery
is about 100 yards from this corner at the top of some steps.
John Mitchell was an early resident of the Southeast
section of the Town of Erin. His son, John C. Mitchell, operated
the first tavern in the township. the section was named Mitchell's
Corners in honor of that family, and the cemetery continues to be known
by that name, although located near the forks of the roads, now more familiarly
known as "The
Forks."
This cemetery was read by James L. Smith in 1957.
I have not personally checked this cemetery but from what others have told
me. All the stones
are still there and some sites have new stones put there by families.
