For several years I've wanted to say THANK YOU for all the time and effort that you've put into the Tri-county website. I've found much useful and needed data therein, and have used it when we've gone to Tioga County. I thought I'd say that now, when I can add a little to the tremendous amount of information you have.

I have additional information about 2 burials in POTTERBROOK CEMETERY.
1)  To the left of the gravestone for "Charles Stebbins   May2,1854-May 11,1884" is a slate grave marker with the initials "CLB" scratched on it. That is the grave of CHAUNCEY L. BUTTON , 1872-1921, son of Abner Button" [What would it take to have that engraved on it????}
2) To the left of that one is a now-almost-unreadable gravestone; it marks the  gravesite of "JULIA BUTTON JEFFERS, Mar 31,1878-Feb 11,1939, daughter of Abner Button, wife of George Jeffers".

I hope that the above info about those people can be entered into permanent records.
Again, thank you for all your work on behalf of all us.

Anthony, husband of Carol Schiraldi   cartons@msn.com
