Pictures and inscriptions taken by Pamela Smith, CCGS
member, May
2009. A lot of the footstones are over the hill
in the
woods. There are a lot of old stones in this
cemetery. A lot of cleaning of stones needed to be completed.
In
the very back of the cemetery there are 50 unknown stones and a few
hand inscribed stones that I am told came
from the Towner Cemetery on
private property on Williamsburg Bantam Road.
Stones I could not locate previously recorded.
