Name of Cemetery: RED CHALK Cemetery, a.k.a. Hollenbeck Cemetery,
Caywood Cemetery
Read By: Isabelle Ridal, Doris & Joseph Boyd
Date Read: July 6, 1975
Typed By: J. Mitchell Nichols of Greenville, SC
Location: Town of Erin, Chemung County
Comments: It would apprear that some of the birth dates were calculated
and not read from the tombstone. Use them with caution.
The name “RED CHALK” is the official title of the small cemetery
located in the northwestern part of the Town of Erin, Chemung County, New
York, according to James Smith, former town historian. It has also
been referred to by the names of HOLLENBECK and CAYWOOD.
Originally a burial plot which just “grew” it was conveyed to
the town between 1890 and 1900 and thus became the responsibility of the
town parents. In 1933, the Stavers reported that is was protected
by a fence and was well cared for, but the fence has vanished and, at times
the grass grows deep.
The Jackson Creek Road (County Route 16) runs due north from the
village of Breesport and the Haskins Road has its beginning on this black-topped
highway about three miles north of the village. Originally the Haskins
dirt road wound over the hills to the east, but in by-gone years the center
section was abandoned by the town. Today the remaining eastern part
is only one mile in length and an additional 1/10 of a mile climbs a steep
hill, terminating at the isolated cemetery.
The plot is about 100 feet in width and 50 feet in depth in and
open field with no brush or trees. Tombstones are in rows with some darkened
stubs of markers in high grass. In the past the cemetery was undoubtedly
larger, but there is no evidence of the original boundries or unmarked
graves.
The following record was made on July 6, 1975, by Isabel Ridal
and Doris and Joseph Boyd. Data in brackets does not appear on the
tombstone, but has been added for interest. Likewise, the surname
has been added for wives, sons and/or daughters for clarity.
