Am taking a real longshot here: What I am looking for is cemeteries in the Nicholson area that were in use in the 1850's-1860's. I am looking for where a particular couple is buried and I know they are not in the Starkville Cemetery, nor the RC one nearby. I don't believe they are buried in Nicholson Cemetery either. I do not find them, nor any of their older (aged 50+) neighbors shown on the 1860 census, listed in transcriptions online for Wyoming County Cemeteries. They resided in Nicholson, and the husband passed away in 1859. The wife's date of death has yet to be confirmed, however information at the Courthouse tells me she was still alive in 1863. 1860 Surnames I've been checking for include: Pedrich, Coddington, ROSS, Casterline, Shafer, Stephens, etc... Also, would anyone have directions to the Stephens Cemetery? Thanks! Sue --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Faith Hill - Exclusive Performances, Videos, & more faith.yahoo.com

Have you tried contacting the Wyoming County Historical Society? They have an amazing amount of information about cemeteries, burials, funeral homes, etc. ------------------------------------------------ researching from Switzerland: BORNER, CHALLANDES, HUBER, MEIER, SCHILD, SCHLECHTER, WAFFLER, WALDER from Germany: HERMANNI/HARMONI, TIMM, TONSING, TRABA, YUNKER from Prussia: DIEBALL, RETICKA from Scotland/N.Ireland: AIKEN, BORLAND/BORELAND, CAMPBELL, CHRISTY/CHRISTIE, DIVEN, GLENN, HALL, MAGEE, MONTGOMERY, SMITH from England: LOWE from Czechoslovakia: HANISEK, POLCHA from Wyoming Co./Lackawanna Co., Pa: DUNLAP, DAVIS, HUNTER, POST from Scranton, Pa: BELSKI, GREEN, McCALL, MILLER, STANKO, WARGO ----- Original Message ----- From: "S P" <susqsue@yahoo.com> To: <PAWYOMIN-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, October 11, 2002 12:04 PM Subject: [PAWYOMIN-L] Nicholson area Cemeteries > > Am taking a real longshot here: > > What I am looking for is cemeteries in the Nicholson area that were in use in the 1850's-1860's. > > I am looking for where a particular couple is buried and I know they are not in the Starkville Cemetery, nor the RC one nearby.

Thanks to all who responded so far. I do intend to contact the HS in Tunkhannock on this, however, they are not open daily and I thought I'd post this now and see if anyone could give me some leads and maybe I could get out and check around this weekend. I'm thinking more that they might be in some type of "neighborhood" type of burial grounds???
