Pat and Edna,
I recently visited Mitchell's Corners Cemetery on my annual pilgrimage to
Chemung County. The Cemetery is on Thayer Road, about 100 yards from the
intersection with Wyncoop Creek Road. The town (or some kind soul) has made
some recent improvements to the cemetery by installing a nice flag pole and
steps made of railroad ties and rebar spikes. Before this recent
installation, accessing the cemetery required the visitor to be kissing
cousin to a mountain goat. When I visited at the end of July, however, the
cemetery was slightly overgrown - but not seriously. I found my ancestor's
headstone (Judieth Joslin Carnrike - am curious who replaced her stone in the
1960's) and am truly curious as to who Admiral Wickham was. His grave is the
first you encounter at the top of the steps. Anyone have a clue?
