NOTES PROVIDED ABOUT CEMETERY:

These stones are located in Higley Flow State Park (Entrance at 442 Cold Brook Drive, Colton, NY).  They are believed to be the graves of the original landowners of the park prior to the park purchasing the land for the park.  They are laid flat in the ground in cement and are generally well cared for otherwise.  The single stone is located within the area used for camping and therefore is roped off so people don’t constantly walk around on the stone.  The double stones are a couple feet off the main road headed to the beach, they are not roped off.  Unknown whether more stones are located within the park.
