Hi, Just in case anyone ever asks:  Martin's Hill Cemetery also known as South Schoolhouse cemetery is found:

Arnot Mall.  Chambers Road to Sing Sing Road (Chemung County Airport). Follow north to Brown Road on the left.  Up to the very top. Runs into S. Cemetery Road.  Turn left onto dirt road with no outlet.  Don't go alone.  Very woodsy and remote.

                               OR

Exit 49 on Route 17/86.  North to Hibbard Road.  North to S. Cemetery Road. Long drive on S. Cemetery.  Right turn.   At intersection with Brown Road.
