Huntington Cemetery
Also known as Grave Yard Bay Cemetery
Newcomb, Essex County, New York, USA
According to Marvin Bissell of Long Lake: Huntington cemetery. Mr. Archer Huntington was a N.Y. City banker who bought a large estate in the Arbutus Lake area. He employed many Newcomb people and had several buildings constructed. There were some beavers in the area which Archer regarded as his pets.
Archer hired workers to build the stone walls of the cemetery and it was his plan to build a fountain in the clear area between the curved driveway and the main road.
However a Newcomb outlaw whom everyone knew at the time trapped Archer's pet beavers. When Archer saw the skinless dead beavers he became enraged and fired all Newcomb workers on the spot. The town later finished the stone wall.
According to George Canon of Newcomb: Locals never call it by "Huntington" but refer to it simply as Grave Yard Bay Cemetery after its location near Rich Lake Bay.
