This large neighborhood cemetery is located on a hill off the east side of Rte. 22.  Entrance to the cemetery is up a dirt road.  The cemetery is in horrible condition, overrun with weeds and briars.  It was impossible to get into the middle of the cemetery due to the heavy growth of briars.  There were at least 10 stones partially visible in this center area.   The tombstones that we were able to get to were transcribed on September  9, 2002 by Kathleen L. Last & Virginia Ackerman.

Many thanks to Kathleen L. Last and Virginia Ackerman for their time and hard work taking a reading of these cemeteries and sharing with us.  Its much appreciated.

Stearns, Roselle, wife of C. W. Stearns, died Nov. 22, 1879 age 43 yrs
 I was very happy to see the listing of the folks in the Pekin Cemetery in Orwell, a number of whom are my ancestors.  I'd like to make one correction.  Stearns, Roselle should read:

Stearns, Rosette, wife of G. W. Stearns, died Nov. 22, 1879 age 43 yrs

She was Rosetta Woolever, daughter of Benjamin and Angeline Woolever, all originally from Herkimer Co., NY.  Angeline is also in Pekin Cemetery.  G. W. Stearns was George W. Stearns, I believe the son of Samuel and Hannah Stearns of Jefferson Co.  George died of wounds
suffered at Petersburg while serving in the Civil War.  George and Rosetta are my great great grandparents.

Rosetta's daughter Georgianna (who was not born yet when her father died) married my great grandfather, William Welbourne West, great grandson (I believe) of Ira and Lucy (Curtis) West, who are also in Pekin.  Lucy died in 1864 (the transcription says the stone in illegible).

I was very interested to see the listing from Pekin Cemetery as many of my ancestors are buried there.  My husband and I visited it in 2001 and as my husband took pictures, I sat on a tombstone at the edge.  Later, I was reading in a book called Orwell Remembered and found the following:"Gary Miner married Juliette Lenn. They had the following children: Sarah (married Riley Wyman), Arthur (married Elnora Duell), Frances (married Munroe Crossett), Martha (married Judson West), Gary, Jr., Louie, Clarence, (all three died of Scarlet Fever and Diptheria during one winter and had to be buried on the side of the hill of Pekin Cemetery, to prevent spread of the disease), Claude (married Ella Mae West)."  Gary was the grandson of Ichabod Miner, Sr (Revolutionary War Veteran) who is also buried at Pekin.I think the children listed as probably Wrights, are in fact Miners (at least the three: Gary, Lewis and Clarence).
