CHAMPLIN OR OLD TAUGWONK CEMETERY
Champlin or Old Taugwonk burying ground was on land which be- longed to Col. Joseph Champlin in 1765. This yard was copied in 1884 by Chaplain Raswell Randall Hoes, U. S. N.
It is situated on the north side of the highway, between the Smith Brothers farm and the land of the late Dennis Cronin. About halfway between these houses is a lane running north, which following a short distance, at the right over a stone wall are found the stones and graves long ago placed there. About 1837 this yard was visited by Mrs. Richard A. Wheeler, as a little girl with her grandmother Mrs. Eunice Chesebro Noyes, and then there were many graves and large stones to be seen. There were a number of large table stones placed there, as some of our earliest and best known citizens were buried there.
In 1905 I visited this yard and found only 7 stones. The only one standing was that of Mr. Samuel Frink who died in 1742. In 1927 it was visited by William Miner Allen and by digging persistently, he brought to light a number which had sunk down into the ground.
