Dear Joyce My son Joe and I visited Gee Cemetery today found another stone that is not in your web site inventory. We found the stone for Thomas Gee died April 21, 1877. He is my 3rd
Great Grand Father.
Every stone in this cemetery has been flat on the ground for years. We put them all back up. There is one foot stone that is unidentified with the initials J. D. H. Attached is a photo of the stone of Thomas (at right) as well as the cemetery. (at Top of page - That is Sam in the photo) Sam Leonard
Thomas Gee, Died April 21, 1877, Aged 73 yr's, 2 m., 20 d's. |

Great work on finding the stone of Thomas Gee! The location of his grave has been a mystery for a long time. I am also impressed with how fast Joyce got it up on the website. Thanks to you all.
Bob Thomas
Note from Joyce - That's because Sam sent everything to me in a format
that I could process quickly and easily. He did it JUST RIGHT and made
it easy for me!!! JMT

Joyce wanted to first Thank you for all you have on your web site. In the summer of 2006 my husband found that his ancestors "The Gee family" were from the Tioga area. Then we found Sam's photo of the cemetery on your web site and in search we went. 4 hour drive then several hours and questions later we were able to locate this abandoned cemetery in high weeds using Sam's photo held up to the landscape in what we were told was the general vicinity. No one we spoke to even Gee descendants from the area, knew where it was. So second thanks have already gone to Sam. Wanted to share this photo with you. my husband Andy (Far Right) From Fredonia NY, Far left His Nephew Alex from Elmira NY, then Alex's Dad Don (From Dunkirk NY) and they all met up with Larry Gee From Tioga Pa (2nd from Right) just before Memorial Day this year to clean up the cemetery and cut down a bunch of brush. |
