AKA Clark Cemetery

Matson/Clark Cemetery, Steuben Twp. , Steuben County.

This is an mid size cemetery, (about 50 visible markers),and appears to be inactive. I don't know the actual name . It is shown as Matson Cemetery on the USGS topo map, but the Steuben County cemetery listing shows it as the Clark Cemetery. There is no name sign at the site. There are possible namesakes for both here.

The site is partially maintained, as the unused area is not mowed. The boundry has an old woven wire fence, but there have been posts for a chainlink fence installed. The project was never completed, and these look to have been here awhile.

I found seven veterans' Flagholders with flags in place, but only one government style marker, that of A Civil War veteran. The other markers had no confirming inscriptions.

The earliest legible marker was dated 1839, that of Lucy Dagget. There are four Lemmon markers in a row, two of which have the veterans' flagholders Their dates of death and age could make them veterans of the 1812 War, but no confirming inscriptions are on the markers.

Two possible namesakes for the cemetery are Lewis I. Matson & Dr. A. P. Clark as their markers are quite prominent.
