From "A Guide to Burial Sites, Cemeteries & Random Stones in Cattaraugus County, New York" by Marlynn McNallie Olson: Peth Cemetery - Destroyed, site is visible from the road, in Great Valley, east side of Route 219. COMMENTS: "Stones were removed by a former owner, in the late 1920s to mid 1930s. Some were piled up near the barn (and still are there), others became sidewalk blocks and rip rap on the creek banks. The bodies were not removed. Names of some of those who rest there include: Abbott, Winsors, Turner and Talbott." There is a photograph in the book of the stones "piled up like cordwood" and it's a very distressing site. For further information I would suggest that you contact: Cattaraugus County Historical Museum Evelyn Penman, County Historian 302 Court Street Little Valley, New York 14755 716/938.9111, X2440 email: evelpe@lv.co.cattaraugus.ny.us AND/OR Town of Great Valley Roberta Stone, Historian P.O.
