| General Information |
| The OES visited Conklin Cemetery on July 30, 2007. Established around 1812, Conklin Cemetery is a very old family burying ground that has definitely seen better days. According to records, there are at least 48 burials in the cemetery, although there could be some undocumented burials as well. The oldest stones belong to George Teegardin who died on 10/30/1812 and an Infant Rinesmith who died sometime in October 1812. The last recorded burial was Rachel Teegardin who died on 9/21/1879 at 78-years-old. There was at least one veteran's tombstone in the cemetery, that of Aaron Teagardin of the Revolutionary War. Many of the stones in the cemetery are broken or illegible, but there are a few that remain standing. During our visit, we found the cemetery to be completely overgrown with weeds and trees. We're surprised we did not get poison ivy while we were tramping around the cemetery. | |
