Many newspaper articles from 1959 exist in the Historian's Office detailing the finding of bones on Edwin D. Walck's property.
Three stones found. Skeletons also found in extremely shallow graves. One of them contained a pin in its leg,
creating the hypothesis that some Halloween prankster had moved the stones from a nearby cemetery to that location.
Nevertheless, some held to the belief that there actually was a cemetery where the stones were found. The "remains"
and the stones were removed to burial grounds at the INFIRMARY. The whereabouts of the stones at the present time are not known.
There was, at one time, a cemetery located somewhere on land deeded to "Lyman E. Thayer of Pendleton and Fanny,
his wife" on 01 April 1836 consisting of the "Northeast part of Lot 87 and the Northwest part of Lot 82 in said
