Town of Pulteney Historian Report

September 2009

 

     I met Helen Brink (a volunteer with Steuben County Historical Society). We visited the cemetery on the old

Murray Snyder farm. (Now owned by Mark Applebee). It is in a sad state. The stones are tipped over and being

overgrown with berry bushes. I took four pictures of the stones that I could get to. If I ever go to an abandoned

cemetery again, I'll know enough to take boots (for walking through horse manure, etc) and trimming shears (for

clipping berry bushes). It would be nice if it was given to the Town, so it could be taken care of.

 

     The military wall is almost completed for now. Hopefully it will be done before Primary Day September 15th.

 

     The work on the Old Presbyterian Cemetery has begun. 16 stones have been done so far. Dave Clancy is

hoping to get the ones scheduled for repair this year done in the next couple of weekends. There are going to be

several that need a different solution for repair.

 

     I am still working on the cemetery listings. I need to visit some of them before the weather gets bad to verify

a few names and dates. I also am working on the Steuben County census records for Pulteney and the burial

listings from Steuben County for Pulteney that were given to the Town several years ago and have been kept in

the library, I'm putting them on a spreadsheet so they can be easily accessed.
