I had to go to a meeting in Westfield, NY (near Erie, Pa.) so I decided to take the long way home and go through Jamestown and Olean, NY and pick up two Governor's gravesites. They were really helpful in the office. Governor Fenton is not the most famous resident of the cemetery. That distinction is held by Lucille Ball of I Love Lucy. While I was at Lake View Cemetery, I was able to stop and visit the graves of my great-great grandparents, Charles Quist and Augusta Amelia Quist
