Do You Know that you can search just the

TOMPKINS CORNERS CEMETERY
CATLIN TOWNSHIP, CHEMUNG COUNTY,
N.Y.
The following list is part of Rhoda
ENGLISH Ladd's Tioga County Cemetery Inscriptions– Volume 4.
Located on Holoman Hollow Road on Harris Hill,
near Elmira, NY, this is a quarter mile straight back in the woods, with
no road. It is completely abandoned and overgrown. Copied by Agatha Kinner,
555 E. Water St., Corning, NY .
I am assuming that this cemetery named Thompson Corners Cemetery in
the Tioga County book is the same as Tompkins Corners Cemetery C124 in
the Chemung County list.
Joyce,
In searching the cemetery lists on your site I found an error.
On the Catlin cemetery page you have Tompkins Corners Cemetery listed.
This caught my eye because that cemetery is long gone and no one ever compiled
a list of who was buried there. I recognized many of the names as
being buried in the MILLS Cemetery off West Hill Rd. A in the Town of Big
Flats. I checked the Big Flats cemetery page and they are indeed
the same listings. Mills cemetery list is correct as is,
but the burial list for Tompkins Corners Cemetery should be eliminated.

Joyce,
I know you are very busy but just thought you would want to know about
that cemetery page error. I got excited when I saw it. Thought
someone may have found a old list that has been hidden away. I saw
the painting of the farm at Tompkins Corners on the Big Flats web site
which mentioned a cemetery containing her ancestors, so had to check it
out. I believe the Tompkins Corners cemetery would have been across
the road from the farmhouse where a church used to be. There have
been stones found on old farms up that way. One just up the hill
from where the barn sits, which would be in the Town of Catlin, per the
Town of Catlin Town Clerk. There is now a new housing development
there and the owners did not know what to do with the stone. The
other "cemetery" I am told is up in the Mary road area. Probably
both cemeteries are family farm cemeteries.

Listing Removed. It is identical to the Mills cemetery listing March
2007. There is no listing for Tompkins Corners Cemetery
