COORDINATES:
NOTES:
- I did not personally visit this cemetery nor have I verified any of the data.
- This cemetery was visited by W. McLellan July 16, 1949. This transcription was compared to a later one compiled by Elizabeth Menke & Eunice vanEss. Discrepencies are indicated in red.
- Thanks to Wayne Miller, Librarian at Special Collections, SUNY Plattsburgh, Plattsburgh, New York for access to McLellan's Cemetery Collection.
- When Mike & I attempted to photograph this cemetery, we were unable to gain access to the area. It is on posted property and there is a locked chain across the dirt road.
- Many thanks to Ken Fiebke for sending photographs of these stones!
