Union Cemetery A through Q

By Elaine Moffitt Short on Monday, February 9, 2015

The Union Cemetery is located in Middle Island NY across from the old Middle Island Presbyterian Church on Middle Country Road at the intersection of Church Lane.
The Cemetery originally was a part of a large farm belonging to Stephen Swezey, of Brookhaven, who, on July 14, 1747 sold the same to his son James. James died. In May 1809 John Van Brunt to Abel Wooster conveyed the tract for $1650. In 1810 it was sold to Joshua Swezey, who, in 1839 sold to William Phillips, Mordecai Homan and Apollos A. Mills. The cemetery was used as a family burial ground and soon shared with the Presbyterian Church where they buried many of their members.
Those interred in Union paint a picture of the history of Middle Island, Coram and Ridge, with burial plots of many of the local families including Bayles, Davis, Randall, Swezey, Edwards, Homan, Petty, and many more. Buried in Union are local veterans of the Revolutionary and Civil Wars as well as World War I, and World War II. Doctors, lawyers, educators, politicians, government officials, Ministers, farmers, skilled laborers, business owners, firefighters and police officers including one fireman and one police officer who died in the line of duty are buried there. Many children died way to early and are buried with their siblings and parents. Along with those who died of natural causes, The cemetery is home to accident victims, weather related deaths, drowning’s and, yes even a murder or two.
The cemetery is still active, a resting place for local residents including several Estonians that immigrated to the Middle Island area in the 1940's and 1950s
What I am trying to do is, besides just listing their names as has been done on a few occasions, I hope to research their lives and give them more than a name on a granite marker. This is a project that takes a lot of research from local newspaper archives, local history that has been compiled by such individuals as Thomas Bayles, Paul Infranco and local historic societies and the wealth of information found at the Longwood Library, and by you, those who may have additional information to share. It’s my task to put it all together so it somehow makes sense. be patient, more info will be posted in the near future

He spent several years teaching in the schools in Coram, Eastport, Center Moriches, Manorville and Middle Island from 1877 to 1893.In 1872, he began his first important work, "Historical and Descriptive Sketches of Suffolk Country." It was published in 1874. This led to his being engaged by W.W. Munsell & Co., publishers to write the history of Riverhead Town and Brookhaven Town for their "History of Suffolk County," published in 1882. The article on Brookhaven is the most complete and exhaustive ever written, and Brookhaven is indebted to him for having preserved more of our history than anymore with the possible exception of Benjamin F. Thompson.His next work was a history of Green Country, N.Y., published by J.B. Beers & Co., in 1884. In 1885 , he published his "Handbook of Long Island" containing maps and illustrations and the only thing of the kind ever brought out by any other than the railroad company.

This was followed by his Newport County", R.I in 1887. Then came his "Windham County", Conn. In 1889 and this in turn was followed in 1890-1, by his last work, a two-volume history of "Providence County", R.I .All of the books are large and no one but a person with a genius for history or one of Mr. Bayles' patience and love of research, would or could have attempted them. Besides compiling these works, he found time to contribute articles for newspapers and periodicals and from 1886 to 1908,he wrote the Long Island articles for the Brooklyn "Eagle Almanac".In 1903, Mr. Bayles married Florence V. Rowland, of Millers Place. Two sons were born to them, Thomas and Albert. The former married Gertrude Benjamin of Center Moriches and has two sons Elwin and Donald.  He was chosen by the town board to be the town historian and he acted in that capacity until his death. After the close of the World War, he made a roster of every person of Brookhaven who was in the service, including his or her war record. He assisted Roscoe C. Craft in compiling the "Directory of the public Schools" and the "Directory and Year Book of the public recently for the Second Supervisory Schools" Mr. Bayles home was on the Middle Country Road at the top of the hill a rising from Connecticut Hollow in Middle Island (where the City on The Hill Church is now located).  He knew every inch of the country for miles around, and, being a surveyor of excellent caliber for many years, he picked up a wonderful fund of knowledge about places and people with whom he came in contact.He made copies of the names and dates from tombstones for miles around, abstracted data from old wills, ancient deeds in documents and had in his collection, many valuable historical genealogical data. Much of this he "carried in his head" and would converse about the people and their characteristics and the events of the 17th, 18th and early 19th centuries and familiarly as thought they were but yesterday.People of all walks in life visited Mr Bayles, seeking information about family ancestory, wanting a title searched, asking advice about a will, wanting a deed made out.His aid was sought by the lawyer the genealogist, the historian. He was an insurance agent, a realtor, and notary public. People who could not call on him personally, wrote for information and his correspondence was always extensive and, must have been a great burden as he invariably answered all his letters personally. He was a Christian gentleman of the old school. Sunday and prayer-meeting nights found him at the old Middletown Presbyterian Church.  He was the oldest of the elders of the parish, was the clerk of the session as well as a teacher in the Sunday School. In the absence of the, minister, he often conducted the meetings.Mr. Bayles was a true friend, a kind neighbor and a courteous man- one never too busy to help any who came to him for help or advice.

He went on to study art and had his work in many galleries throughout the cities, specializing in portraits and depictions of famous battles and historical events. In 1848 he moved to Brooklyn where he continued his artistic career. Chappel's career flourished, but his personal life was marred by the death of his wife, Almira, June 14, 1863, leaving him a widower in charge of four children. Some years later he remarried Abbie J. Briggam, a widow with one son. Abbie and he may have had additional children. It is known that Chappel had a son named Alonzo and a daughter called Ollie, but little is known of them and nothing of any possible descendants. In 1869 the Chappels purchased a parcel of land along Glover's Pond near Middle Island in Long Island's Suffolk County. Around 1871 they built a house there, and he established a sort of art colony which resulted in the renaming of the pond to "Artist's Lake."The last years Chappel spent at Middle Island with his family should have been ones of quiet, for he had a career as one of the most prolific illustrators of the third quarter of the nineteenth century. They were marred by a stranger, who appeared at his door one morning and threatened him.  Chappel tried to drive the man away, but the intruder, evidently insane, became violent and attacked the artist.  To save himself, Chappel drew a revolver and shot the man dead. "The horror of this event," reported "The Brooklyn Eagle" a quarter of a century later, "haunted him during the remaining four or five years of his life". On July 20, 1885, he consigned for auction his library of 343 volumes on subjects ranging from history and biography to art and literature. Some of this information and a more detailed biography as well as his complete artistic works can be found at www.alonzochappel.org
