Joyce's Search Tip - December 2007 -
 |
Do You Know that you can search just the
600 pages of Tioga County Cemetery Records on the site by using
the Cemeteries -Tioga button in the Partitioned search engine at
the bottom of the Current What's New
Page? If you use that partition follow these steps to search just
one cemetery.
1. Choose Cemeteries - Tioga.
2. Enter part of the cemetery name [ie Newbury or Furman] AND a surname.
3. Choose the Find ALL Words option. Then it will find just the pages
with that surname in the one cemetery you indicated. |

There is also a stone that Reads: "John O. Golden" and the line below
is AAaaBBbbZZzzXXxx" as well as some cross hatch designs across the top.
From some research I have found that he was a tombstone carver for the
area. There were a number of blank stones that only had the crosshatch
designs across the top and nothing else on them. The carving on the stones
was similar to those of the Joseph family stones.
**I have visited this cemetery several times over the years; it is located
at the back of a farm field in a grove of trees that is above a creek bed.
Sadly there are fewer and fewer stones every time I visit. My ancestors
are the Bowman and Joseph families. I am trying to find where I put the
coordinates of the cemetery…haven’t had them in hand since I last visited
the cemetery in the fall of 2004.

Dear Joyce, [February 2010]
In the listings for John Mascho in the Bacon Cemetery, the second listing:
John Mascho Jan. 7 1853 56y, 5m, 17d; is his wife, Sally. I visited the
cemetery in July 1989 and found both stones. Sally's stone had the top
part broken off and after some digging I found the top part of the stone
covered in the dirt. The completed stone reads: SALLY Wife of JOHN MASCHO
DIED Jan. 7, 1853 Age 56 Yrs 1Mo. & 17 Days. The "SALLY Wife of" was
the part broken off, which led to the miss interpretation of the stone.
Since I wouldn't take the stones from a cemetery, they were left leaning
on a log. I suspect in the years since I was there, the top of the stone
is lost again. John was my great great grandfather.
I do have a picture of the stones.
