Evergreen 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 the longest epitaph in the United States (135 words).
