AMOS SNIDER  STONE ------------------MENALLEN  TWP.

To find it take New Salem Road to Fairbanks, go through Filbert #1 to Bunker Hill Rd on
right. go to top of hill, stone on left 8 feet off road. There is a unusual story I was
told about Amos. Seems he was killed while trying to fly. He had made a set of wings,
probably similar to a modern glider. He told the group of people that were watching him if
he was killed to bury him at base of large tree he was going to jump out of. He glided down
a long valley about a mile when a gust of wind made him loose control and he fell to his
death. Note the date, he must have been very advanced in his thinking.  recorded  4-19-200.

UNKNOWN  CEMETERY---------------MENALLEN TWP.

This Small cemetery is located on top of a hill directly behind the dam of the Dunlap Lake.
To get there turn onto New Salem Road off RT 40 West of Uniontown. Continue 3  4/10 miles
to Krulock Rd, turn right, continue 6 / 10 mile to farm house on left. Cemetery is on top
of hill to left.About 3/8 mile walk up hill walk.  Stones were on ground and partily
buried. I'm sure there more graves than I found stones, and sunken places. Cattle have been
in cemetery over the years and have probably knocked stones over and they are now buried.
There were 2 footstones marked H.C., but only found one headstone to match.  Recorded April
