These are photos taken at the cemetery on Pine Hill Road, Town of Masonville. The interesting thing about this cemetery is that the white headstone (the one facing the road) reads: Amy Wadsworth Died July 30, 1878 3 yrs, 9M, 20 days. Then, on the other side (facing the woods), there is another headstone that is back to back with the white headstone reads: Amy Wadsworth Died May 20, 1787 2 yrs, 5 Mos, 20 days. The second headstone appears to be made of slate and I think it was recently made, although I am not an expert. --Kathy Klopchin, October 13, 2007
A note from Rene' Treffeisen in 2001:
This is a reading from a headstone off the side of the road on Pine Hill Rd, Sidney/Masonville (believe in Town of Masonville). Rene' Treffeisen, December 6, 2001 July 30 1878 3 years 9 months 20 days It was really quite strange, it sits off the side of the road in an area that has a small stone "fence" around it. The stone fence area is quite large, but didn't see any evidence of other headstones. Then Amy's headstone has groups of stones all around it surrounding her whole burial site. Stone does look old and authentic, so I don't think its a hoax. It also has flowers and is kept nice around it.
