Estella Cemetery, Sullivan County, Estella, Pa.
Having located my Great Grandfather and family in the 1900 Pa. Census in  Elkland Township of Sullivan County Judy and I decided to drive through the area and look over the cemeteries. Our second cemetery stop of the day was the Estella Cemetery. One of the first headstones I saw was WARREN and SARAH (VARGASON) MAY, my Great Grandfather and Great Grandmother. We also found FRANK B MAY, Warren's brother, and ZILPHIA (MAY) GRIFFITH, Warren and Sarah's daughter.  We are still trying to locate the burial records for the cemetery. We returned on November 11th and read the headstones. Below is the list. We hope it can help someone else as much as it did us!
This was originally written in the summer of 1999. As of September of 2000 we learned from death certificates and other records that Great Great Great Grandfather and Grandmother JESSE VARGASON and MATILDA (HATCH) VARGASON, Great Great Grandmothers SARAH (BARNES) MAY and EMILY (VARGASON) VARGASON, Warren and Sarah's 3 week old daughters, ESTHER and ESSIE MAY and possibly Great Great Grandfather URIAH VARGASON  are buried here also.
