Mrs. Lopes and son beside Antone Lopes' grave - c1902.


This information has been submitted by Rosemary Tonjes, Sept. 2003.

Also on the New York Flat Road about 0.6 miles above the Foss Cemetery on the way to 
Forbestown.  There are no headstones and the area has grown up with brush and trees.  

In 1974 Jim Lague, his uncle Edwin Lague and Charley Lynds, by witching, found about 
15 graves and drove metal pipes.  Ed Lague went to school there and remembered a few 
isolated graves near the present road, but the rest are grouped together further back.

The area around the creek was called Portugese Town, as they settled there and worked 
for the Foss Bros. in mining New York Creek.
