Richard,
If you don't already have the information, here it is.

Edmund R. Covell and his wife Fanny (Morrison) are buried in the Riverview-Corydon Cemetery. The cemetery is in Warren County, PA. From Bradford, PA, follow route 346 west about 14 miles. Or from Salamanca, NY, follow route 17 west about 9 miles to the junction with route 280. Take 280 south along the Allegany River about 10 miles. The cemetery overlooks the river just across the NY/PA state line. GPS Coordinates: Latitude: 41.99610, Longitude: -78.94140

Edmund's grave marker reads:
Edmond (sic) R. Covell
Co I 14th PA Crps(?)
Born June 24, 1818
Died Oct 2, 1899

Fanny's grave marker reads:
Fanny
Wife of E.R. Covell
Born Jan 15, 1824
Died Dec 14, 1881
Aged 57 yrs 11 mos

For their family, see "Genealogical and Family History of Western New York," by W.R. Cutter, 1912, Volume 2, pages 534 and 535. It states that Edmund and Fanny had two children, sons Thomas J. and Abel M.. It lists the data for them, and for the children of each, etc.. Although Cutter's book has numerous errors on the early Covells, the data about Edmund and Fanny was provided by Edmund's son Abel. One gathers that because Abel's family data is carried down to a marriage on November 24, 1909, barely three years before the book was published.

If you want copies of the pages, email to me your snail mail address.
Regards, JCB
