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. |

Joyce (July 2006)
Al Dickgieser here, Recently we searched for Swing Gate Cemetery, but
had a hard time with the directions. Swing Gate Cemetery is located
at 881 Swing Gate Rd. If you take Water St. out of Knoxville, PA.
And go 4.0 miles from the Knoxville Bridge you will be at Swing Gate Entrance
(see attached photo). The cemetery is located at the top of the hill
on the left-hand side in a thicket of brush and trees. The cemetery
is not visible, only after you walk into the thicket. Most gravestones
are lying down, from ground settlement. Twp #643 is Cooper
Rd, which you can take from Rt. 249 to Swing Gate Rd. then turn right,
the entrance is just a short ways on the left. If you need help in
finding the cemetery, you can stop at a large farmhouse just down the road
on the left. The name on the mailbox is Homer Erway and he can direct you
to the site. In talking with him, he said he has several people asking
him about Swing Gate Cemetery each year.

Hello Joyce, My name is P.J. Treat i live in Tioga County. I have been
researching my family for about four years. As i locate them i have been
adding their tomb stone pictures. In October i was at Swing Gate cemetery
and took a photo of this tomb stone. I went back on November 18 to clean
it up to get a better reading. When i got there it was gone. See attached
photo. Thanks to you site i know Matthew and Christina Catherine Pangborn
Boom aka Caroline are buried there. As a Farmer allowed his cattle to run
through this cemetery their stones are missing. So when i was there on
th 18 i was heart sick to find this Bates Stone missing. I was wondering
if you would post this on your site, maybe someone will know where it's
at. Your site has been a valuable source of information in my search
Thank You P.J. Treat

Joyce, at the bottom of this page there is a pic of a Bates stone and
an email saying it is missing.. could you please remove it as it isn't
missing.. it is in the Riverside cem in Knoxvill with other Bates..
you could use the pic on Riverside cem but the email is going to confuse
people.. as it never was in Swinggate.. nice pic thou.. thanks
Apparently the person may have visited more than one cemetery in a day
and was confused about where the photo was taken, I am leaving it here
in case the original sender checks back and discovers her/his error.
The message to all is, check your facts before making erroneous conclusions.
Joyce
