MARCH Savilla S

Wellsboro Agitator – April 28, 1909

Card of Thanks - Mr. Charles H. March wishes to express his thanks to Burdette West; James Carpenter and others, who assisted in transferring the remains of his sister, Savilla S. March, who died in February, 1844 from the Carpenter cemetery to the West cemetery in Middlebury.

 

 

Carpenter Burials are located on Rte. 249 about 1/2 mile from  Middlebury Center. There are three graves marked with only field stones. Supposedly some graves were moved to Keeneyville (Middlebury Union Cemetery), but we do not have documentation on that. Presently only one engraved tombstone is present.

This cemetery is entirely engulfed in a thicket of honeysuckle shrubs. While they protect the cemetery, they also limit access. This cemetery must be entered on one's hands and knees - a hard hat and safety glasses would also be helpful. As of April 2006, the cemetery has been cleaned up and we will be going in shortly for a better reading.

The following sent in by a Day family member.
I know that most of the stones were leaning up against a tree. I tried to get my brother to clear out the Honeysuckle & other nuisance bushes.......but he never gets around to it. It is fearful that if we remove too much, the creek may erode the bank more. I had wanted to erect a plexiglas protected map stand there.

Our Great-Great-Great Grandfather John Day is buried there ......he died Apr 4, 1850 At age 64, 9 mos & 22 days. If my calculations are correct, his birthdate should be Jun 13, 1785. His wife Electa Wormer Day is buried in a Cemetery on another DAY farm in Youngsville, Warren Co., PA
