Evergreen Cemetery

Evergreen CemeteryEvergreen Cemetery, opened in 1851, contains several old and interesting graves including Sa Sa Na Loft, a Mohawk Indian maiden, who, with her family was conducting a singing concert tour to raise money to aid her tribe on a reservation in Western Canada, when she was killed in a train wreck nearby in 1852. The view from her grave is the most spectacular in Owego. Also, E.T. Gibson, who erected a tombstone honoring his ancestors and family, with one of the longest epitaphs in the United States (135 words).  Located at Prospect and Erie Streets in Owego.  For more info about Sa Sa Na Loft, click here.
