Hi,Listers, I visited the cemetery from which the stones were removed to place in Americana Village. I think it is a disgrace that the site where about 40 bodies lie is so overgrown and neglected, while at same time the stones enhance the Village's money making ability during their events for which they charge an entrance fee. It seems to me when the stones were removed it should have been part of the deal that the old site be maintained. I had to crawl through bushes and downed trees to get into it. Not easy! The old woven wire fence that surrounds it is rusty and half broken down.

Charles: The condition of the Rebeccah Woodman Cemetery is pathetic, but I have seen some deplorable cemeteries in New York State. Have to be fair tho as I've seen some pretty bad ones in other states as well. There should be a law about desecrating a cemetery to take the tombstones to an "amusement" area where they charge admission, even if it is a "historical" site, supposedly. You know what I mean. Words fail me. How about writing up something to the Editor of the local papers regarding this situation. Probably would not do a bit of good, but would give you an opportunity to vent. Dorothy
