Add PhotosOn the Ellington side of the junction of the two towns there were two Sischo houses in 1962. On has burned since then. The Sischo children from the upper house where I stopped to inquire guided me over several meadows and up the hill to a forgotten cemetery. Even the Ellington town officials had never heard of it, but I had found it well marked on an old map. I had a hard time keeping my footing, in spite of my sensible shoes and my son's strong right arm. When we arrived there was grandma picking huckleberries. When I exclaimed in surprise she said she had come up by the road from the lower house. That is the way I went back.
This cemetery, which I named Covel Cemetery, consists of two circles of stones, each circle about 12 or 15 feet in diameter. The lower one has no markers, but the children seemed to think that there were burials there.
Had a nice chat with Mr. Ostrander of Falconer who told me that he used to live at the four corners of Gerry and Ellington near the Covel Cemetery that we talked about last month. He said his brother used to ply with one of the Covel boys. He stated that the road did not formerly make the dip and curve but crossed a trestle and passed close to the two cemeteries and that there were several stones in each. However, he did not remember who was buried in the lower one which now has no stones.
