WESTFIELD, NY
Pigeon Rd between Parker Rd and
County Rd.21 Westfield, Chautauqua Co NY.
An old cemetery in a very rural setting, fenced, many of
the markers in this cemetery are in poor condition, many
stones are against fences, face down or gone, others are badly
eroded, and almost impossible to read; a few are in excellent
condition. One is a very tall monument, 4 sides are written
on but only one side is readable and has a list of 11 birth
dates; No names are readable another side has some dates of death
some markers are in excellent condition, these records from my
own reading, July 12, 2000 and an earlier partial reading ,done
as a plot map in 1943 by Ralph BREADS, and online family sources;
and to be used as a guide only.
