Do You Know that you can search just the 600 pages of Tioga County Cemetery Records on the site by using the Cemeteries -Tioga 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 - Tioga. 
2. Enter part of the cemetery name [ie Newbury or Furman] 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.

Due to the extensive area of Delmar Township, cemeteries and graveyards are found in various parts. One of the oldest is the graveyard adjoining the old Baptist Church Building at Stony Fork. The new cemetery, a few rods to the south, was incorporated May 4,1886. May be also known as the Butler Cemetery for the Butler family.
