Arnold Family Headstones Church Street Cemetery Part 1
Little Falls, NY
Contributed by Karen Garber
Surnames on stones: Arnold, Petrie, Jencks, Story, & Light headstone
Living in California can be a challenge for me to photograph my ancestors headstones when I
discover they are buried outside the golden state. Unless a willing family member or volunteer
is passing through or nearby the ancestors final resting place. Many of our Arnold relatives
are laid to rest in the Church Street Cemetery, Little Falls, NY confirmed by burial records
published online at the Little Falls Museum website and other sources.
Thanks to my cousin's husband Al, while combing the Church Street Cemetery in Little Falls July 29, 2004
for my gggg grandparents Edward Arnold Sr. & Mary Phetteplace, their son Edward Arnold Jr. &
Christina McChesney, and Robert & Lany Margaret (Hilts) Arnold, Al photographed these 9 Arnold
headstones. At this time it remains unknown if the following Arnold's photographed here are related to
our own family. However they might be of help to someone else.
As our luck would have it Edward Arnold Sr's was found but not legible when photographed. Robert &
Lany Margaret Arnold's headstone was not located where they should be as well as others, and it's
possible they might not have a grave marker.
If anyone determines the following Arnold families and/or branches named on the old headstones are
related to my own Arnold family mentioned above please let us know.
Related pioneer families of Herkimer & Montgomery counties we are researching:
Arnold, Polly Casler & George Hilts, John Mansfield & Lany Loucks, Charles Pauth & Belle/Asabella
Mansfield.
Thank you to the many volunteers and site coordinators who contribute to this site.
