These records were copied by Mr Frank Place and Mr Elwyn Jackson on 27 March 1949 Transcribed by Mrs Donald N Elder 6 Apr 1949. Additions and corrections made by Leslie Peebles - Marathon Town Historian during the 1950's.
Note written by Leslie Peebles:
This burial ground is first right turn from Jennings Creek road, then first right turn again and close by this second turn on a knoll on the left of the road. Note- less than 1 mile southeast of this cemetery is a larger one lying in Broome co, in the edge in the edge of settle of Killawog. Located behind the old potato cellar owned by Mr Hunt on a knoll behind his residence. There are quite likely related families to those in the Tarble or Sessions cemetery, there interred.
Note written by Vicki Hall Titus:
This cemetery currently seems to be entirely in the town of Lisle, in Broome County. The Lisle Historian, Eleanor Ticknor, indicates that Lisle is responsible for the cemetery (mowing, etc.).
