Another phone call about graves on Senecca Lane on Plumb Creek , near Roaring Spring, led me to go dowse where about 20 years ago the BCGS cemetery committee located and photographed two head stones. One inscribed H. Stone 1792-1812 the other an unmarked field stone. Went to the site and dowsed the are finding 5 graves total 2 females & 3 males. The marked stone dowsed as a female. The owner had done a deed search and there was a family named Stone had owned the property. He promised more info when found. I have a mention of 5 graves from Ella Snowberger's By Gone Days of the Cove Vol 8 Pg 32. It talks about Dry Gap which at one time was a thruway from Plum Creek to the Monastery ! These are on private posted property, please respect the landowners!

A big thank you goes out to Smail Landscaping for a finishing to the exterior of the BCGS addition, stone edging was from onsite Byron arranged and added river stone for a great touch. Fencing to hide air units is all that remains.

Enjoy! With the finish in sight. This will be the last post until the Open House. But yet another job starts, collecting items for wall display, plus an 11' 6" projector screen and all the various appropriate flags. Asking any town that has a logo or crest to donate one to make things complete.
