    1. [PAERIE] Greenfield Township Cemeteries
    2. William Klauk
    3. Hello list, Mike meant to say Greenfield (Little Hope) Cemetery. With regard to cemeteries in Greenfield township, I am not at all familiar with that township, but perhaps someone who is might like to step forward and be a township coordinator. I have come into possesion of an extract from a booklet put together by a Florence Clint in 1977 which contains a 18 Feb 1973 letter from Richard Cheney detailing some of the Erie County cemeteries. With all the other projects going on, I have had this material "in the pile". I will eventually get the cemetery names included as I can verify them. I have not posted these names previous as I did note some glaring errors in Florence Clint's listing, although from what I understand Richard Cheney was a noted Erie County genealogy researcher so I will presume the information in his letter is correct. Here is the listing for Greenfield from the Florence Clint summary: Miller family plot Middlebrook (oldest in the county) Old Miller Burying Ground Snake Hollow Old Greenfield Greenfield Baptist (at Hornby) Little Hope West Greene Road Shadduck >From Richard Cheney's 18 Feb 1973 letter: 1. Greenfield Baptist Church at Hornby - about a mile east of Station rd at Shadduck's Corners (Hornby). Burials started about 1880. 2. Little Hope Cemetery. 3. Middlebrook Cemetery - Oldest cemetery in Erie County. Located on Route 89 (North East-lowville Road). 4. Old Miller Burying Ground - located at Little Hope. Abandoned. 5. Shadduck Farm Burial Lot - practically gone - plowed under in 1955. 6. Snake Hollow Cemetery - near Macedonia - The Snake Hollow Cemetery was published in the National Genealogical Society quarterly, June 1936, page 41. I will try to get some of this information posted soon, but like I said, I want to verify it first, and just haven't had the time to go visit the Genealogical Society/Historical Society.
