BUCK, (this is the one I visited)

Other_Information:

When we were there on 31 May, we found that we couldn't search for relatives graves as it was overgrown and on one grave, there were bones spread.  We don't know whether they were animal or people, but it's distressing to see that a cemetary that was built in 1804 has gone by the wayside.  I know the town of Corning (with whom this is associated) only has a population of 21, but this is where I have family buried and would like to visit.
