Seely Hill Cemetery
Read by Joseph and Doris Boyd
Read on October 19, 1979
Typed by Ruth BRYAN Coffelt of Gilbertsville, Pennsylvania.

The Seely Hill Cemetery is located in the northeastern part of the Town of Van Etten, Chemung County, New York. It is situated on the east side of the Langford Creek Road (County Highway #13), ¾ of a mile north of the junction of this road and the McDuffy Hollow Road (County Highway #48); or 1 mile south of the intersection of the Brink, Vennel and Langford Creek Roads. It is in a sparse woods about 500 feet off the highway and cannot be seen by motorists.

Originally the Langford Creek Road went straight north on a steep grade on the south side of a high hill and descended the opposite side on a steeper slope. Farmers found the pull too severe for their burdened teams (especially in the winter months) and adopted a more gentle passage on the western side of the hill. Eventually this detour became the present black-top road and the original route was abandoned; thus the old burial ground is not located on any type of road, not even a farmer’s lane. Visitors, if any, must walk across an open field or a dank woods.

The site is in a shameful condition, one of desolation and neglect, and the smell of decay and dampness permeate the grounds. Fallen, rotting tree limbs lay about the plot, high weeds are in abundance, and the brush, taller than a person’s head, flourishes. Most of the tombstones lay on the rough ground. Growing trees have over-turned some markers, while depressions in the ground and numerous blackened stubs of shale stones, mark the “forgotten” graves. There could easily be 50 or more graves which are unrecordable in any manner. The cemetery can qualify as an abandoned burial site.

The data on all tombstones was copied in 4 ½ hours on October 19, 1979 by Joseph and Doris Boyd. In the case of some wives, sons and/or daughters, the surname has been added for the sake of clarity. Data in brackets does not appear on the tombstones, but has been added for interest. To secure the data white chalk was applied to better reveal the eroded lettering.
