Hi Joyce, we will soon be having a change in our cemetery listings for the Town of Veteran.  The Turner and Crandell cemeteries on the Ridge Road will be two separate listings.  The Crandell side will be identified as follows:  “Crandell Farm Cemetery 1835-1901” and the Turner side will be “Turner Cemetery”.  We will simply move the existing sign to the front of the Turner side.  This is changing due to recent developments involving land title searches and the gas company.  One of the descendants of the original Crandell farm is placing a sign at the front of the cemetery.  The Crandell family also still owns this cemetery.  The Turner cemetery is actually on land currently owned by the neighbors, Mr. & Mrs. Shaw.  Once everything is finalized I will send you the updated listings for each.  I have to insure that I have the correct stones assigned to the appropriate cemetery.  Thanks, Tim [Oct. 2007]

Crandell Farm Cemetery 1835-1901      This cemetery is located on the West side of the Ridge Road, Town of Veteran, Chemung Co., N. Y., approximately .25 miles North of the Smith Road.  There a couple of stones broken & the perimeter fence is in poor condition.  The ornate fence was made by a local blacksmith, Larkin Packard Stiles, who was a son in law of Amos Crandell.  Larkin was married to their daughter Mary A. Crandell. Supporting information supplied by Dave Crandell, a Crandell descendant, who lives in Painted Post, N. Y.  On July 27, 2005 a memorial stone was placed at the cemetery by the Crandell brothers in memory of their ancestor Eber Crandell.  On October 20, 2007 a sign marking the cemetery was placed at the cemetery.  There are several marker stones & what appear to be unmarked graves/depressions.  This cemetery was cleaned up & all available stones re-read by the Town Historians, Tim Rodabaugh & Rick Smith on 29 May & 30 May 2005.
