    1. [NYJEFFER] Morris Tract cemetery near Chaumont?
    2. Dave Simonds
    3. I recently read the obituary of a woman -- Adeline LeVanchard Casselman -- who died in 1933 in the Jefferson County Home, after living there 28 years. She was to be buried in the "Morris Tract cemetery, near Chaumont." I had not heard of this cemetery, and checking Barlett's (1994) Town of Lyme Cemetery Inscriptions, I don't find it listed either. Her husband, Daniel (not Donald as he is named in the obit), and his first wife Lenora, are buried in Freeman Cemetery in the Town of Brownville. It looks to be about 4 or 5 miles from Chaumont. Does anyone know where Morris Tract cemetery is, or if it is known by some other name? And/or does anyone know where Adeline LeVanchard Casselman is actually buried? So far the earliest census I have located her in is 1860, Town of Champion, where she appears with her parents, Frederic and Matilda, and others with the same surname (transcribed and indexed as LVancher on Ancestry.com).
