Mead Family
Cemetery
The pictures on this page were taken on 21 July 2004 by Mary Lou Cook at a small cemetery in Warren County, sometimes known as Fish Hollow Road Cemetery. Only five graves are located in this little serene place, located near Loon Lake in Warren County, NY. Directions and a map were kindly provided by Phyllis Bogle, Historian of Chester, NY and information about the location was given by Marjorie Swan, Historian at Lake George Municipal Building, Warren Co, NY.
Directions from Chestertown, NY: Travel west on Route 8/9 for several miles to Loon Lake. Keep going around the west side of Loon Lake. As the road turns north it becomes Route 9. After going completely past Loon Lake, turn left on Igerna Road. Follow Igerna past Walker Road and turn left on Fish Hollow Road until reaching a fork in the road. The left fork dead ends at an old abandoned house and barn. Take the right fork, which dead-ends at the Grecco property. Just before reaching the Grecco property, turn left on Moan and Groan Rd. This is marked private, and according to Mrs. Grecco, it is the property of the Gottermans. The cemetery is only a short distance down the private road, on the right in a clearing.
