I DONT THINK FRANCIS SLOCUM CEM. WAS MOVED ??? META
To the best of my knowledge, Francis Slocum was buried next to her husband
and sons in the loer river valley and is now covered by the reservoir. Prior
to closing the dam, some one, possible a local historical society, had a
monument surrounded by a wrought iron fence placed on the high ground
commemorating the spot. I was there shortly after the lake was flooded and
visited the Methodist Church and the Cemetery which was moved from the valley
and relocated on a hill below the dam.
I hope I am right in saying that the original Francis Slocum grave and that
of her family was under the present reservoir.
Would someone please correct me if I am wrong!
Best Regards
