Black/Tucker Cemetery, Town of Ward, Allegany County, NY
This is one elusive cemetery!!! The writer contacted Fred Sinclair of the Town of Ward (and the DEC) to help find the cemetery. Fred found an old aerial view of the forest and pinpointed the cemetery on the map. Armed with this - I thought we could find it.
Briar Auman and I set off to find the cemetery one fine afternoon in April. After trudging through the woods for over an hour, we had no luck. We did find an area covered with periwinkle that we thought might be the place, but could find no stones.
E mails went out to Fred again and Harry and Barbara Blossom (Town Historian of Scio and his wife). Unknown to the writer, a curious DEC Forester named David Zlomek was in the area about 15 minutes after Brair and I left and marked the cemetery with bright blue ribbons. Harry and Barbara also went to the cemetery and marked it with orange ribbons - all the while wondering who marked it with blue.
Who could miss it now?? Briar and I found it and poked around for a while. We were about 25 yards from it the first time we tried to find it. There were several stones that could have been markers, with no writing on them, and several indents in the ground that could be graves. We found only 4 graves conclusively, but we both feel that there were a few more.
The cemetery is located on the Vandermark Road, on the western edge of the Vandermark State Forest. It is about 100 yards off the road, in thick briars. It has not been cared for in years......

Reynolds Cemetery, Phillips Creek, Town of Ward, Allegany County, NY
The following cemetery information was submitted by Ted Seeley:
Directions: Reynolds Cemetery is located approx. 150 yards south of state route 244, east of Phillips Creek village. There are 6 visible grave sites there. The cemetery is on state land, perhaps 1/3 mile from Phillip's Creek. The easiest route through the woods is approx. 75-100 yards east of an old house foundation, which is visible from the road. (at
this point 244 curves slightly north). Walk directly south until you reach a gully/creek. Directly across the creek, the cemetery should be visible. This hike would be best traveled in early spring or late fall, as there is a lot of shrubs and saplings. If one doesn't see the cemetery, I would recommend walking along the edge of the gully until it is seen. I would be happy to accompany anyone that wishes to visit the cemetery.
