ANF to Help Restore Cemetery
The federal government plans to help restore the Corydon-Riverview Cemetery.
The cemetery is on a bluff above the Allegheny Reservoir and is in danger of collapsing into the water because waves and fluctuating reservoir levels have eroded the sand and silt bank that protects it.
The cemetery, which was moved from its original location during construction of the Kinzua Dam in the 1960s, contains the remains of relatives and descendants of Seneca Chief Cornplanter.
Allegheny National Forest Supervisor Leanne Marten will meet with the cemetery committee next week to discuss plans to protect the cemetery.
