Ina G. Church copied most of the below around 1953. Cemetery
location Lot 90 - District #6 on a Old Atlas Map of West Union. - I
have made some corrections to the below. The bodies of the below
were most likely moved because of the location and the general bad shape
of this cemetery . There are several graves which are marked
by fieldstones only - no data known of the unmarked persons buried in this
cemetery - as to whether or not they were moved and/or when moved if they
ever did get markers.
I visited this cemetery June 23rd, 1990. It is located up on top of a hill amongt a stand of trees. I took my 2 children and my mother on this trek. We walked up through a cow-pasture to get up there. I might also add that there is poison ivy, a couple old lilac trees and myrtle scattered through-out <My mother had a memorable event with the poison ivy.>.
This abandoned cemetery is located in the North East corner of West Union township, Steuben Co., NY - near the West Union/Troupsburg township line, adjoining the William Harkenrider farm <north> - off of the Rexville - Troupsburg Rd - which is County Route 117.
