Additions and Corrections to Cemetery Inventory

Involved are the Sheridan Center Cemetery and the Sheridan Center
Cemetery Inc. often referred to as The Old Cemetery  and the New Cemetery,  terminolgy that
seems to defy over a century oof use by what is still termed new.

A letter to Mrs Marian Jones of  Silver Creek, NY  - the Town of
Sheridan Historian from Jerry Pratt of Honesdale, PA  a descendent of Canning Griswold .

Dear Marian
Inclosed are 5 pages of correstions and additions to 2 of the 3 larger
cemeteries in Sheridan.  Several resources have been used but the Canning Griswold
journals of 1820 - 1902 are the backbone of the work.  Eventually there may be more as
almost half of the books remain to be typed and more than that to be indexed.  Outright
errors were rare.
Erroneous interpretation of limited data and weatherworn monument
engraving seemed responsible for most.....

Most notes derive from the Journals of Canning E. Griswold born in
Sheridan in 1827 and died there in 1909.  Other sources were the family Bibles of Jonathan,
his son John E. Griswold, and miscellaneous documents noted where involved.
