DIRECTIONS:

NOTES:

This cemetery was transcribed by W. & H. McLellan June 22, 1940.
McLellan wrote: "On the 80-acre Refugee Lot #110, in the SE corner made by the road running to Sciota and that running to Wood's Falls, about 600 ft. from the latter road, in the so-called Blow Sugar Bush -- on the top of a hill overlooking a gravel pit.
Now in a pasture, the graveyard is entirely neglected; only two stones are now standing, many are broken."
These records are part of what is known as the McLellan Cemetery Records. Beginning in 1933, Hugh McLellan, his son, Charles Woodbury Woody McLellan, and his daughter-in-law, Hulda (Bredenburg) McLellan traveled to various cemeteries throughout Clinton County copying the inscriptions from cemetery stones. Upon his death, these records were to have been donated to Cornell University. However, Dr. Allan Everest of SUNY Plattsburgh convinced the McLellan family to keep the records locally, and they were eventually donated to SUNY Plattsburgh. Complete sets of these records are also available at the Plattsburgh Public Library, the Clinton County Historian's office in Plattsburgh, and the Northern New York American-Canadian Genealogical Society in Keeseville, New York. Each Town Historian has a copy of their segment as well.
