    3. In Black Log Valley there is a little church with a cemetery on the hill across the road. The Juniata Archives Cemetery Index calls the cemetery the Black Log Brethren. I once saw a sign at the site calling it the Byron Run Cemetery. My ancestors lived in this area and I was told that my gg grandparents were buried in the grounds immediately surrounding the church. This would have been circa 1880. Years ago I visited and did, indeed, find some gravemarkers in the area around the church, however, not the names I was looking for. At the time it was quite brushy and some gravestones were grown over. I was wondering if any listers are familiar with the church and could share what they know. I'd be interested in knowing what years the church was in operation; whether it may have also been used as a school; whether its denomination was in fact, Brethren; and whether there is a record somewhere of the graves surrounding the church (not the ones across the road). Thanks, Angie
