    3. The Daily News Batavia, Genesee County, New York State April 28-1881 A Skeleton Unearthed. Mr. William HUYCK, who owns a farm at Fort Hill, near LeRoy, having had two sheep accidentally killed sent his man out into his garden yesterday to bury them. The man was doing this when his spade struck something hard, which, on examination proved to be the skull of an Indian. The man thinking that there might be some more there, went on digging and so uncovered the whole skeleton of a man and part of another. Mr. HUYCK brought these curiosities to LeRoy and put them into S.F. CURTISS' store. A large number of persons went Tuesday to see them. *** Le Roy Locals.
