People of historic note, buried here:

Charles Terry  14 Nov 1744 - 1813

Information from http://historicsoduspoint.com/the-battles/battle-of-sodus-point-war-of-1812-the-men/

Charles Terry who died from wounds suffered in the Battle of Sodus Point that occurred on June 19, 1813.  Charles Terry, also wounded in the fray, lived about seven miles south of the point. He returned home by wagon soon after receiving his wound. It is said that when his wife heard he was on his way home, injured, she started on foot through the mud and rain to meet the wagon. He was in bed for about two weeks and it was thought he was going to recover. Feeling better, he got up and walked to the door, caught cold and died some days later, aged about 48 years.”

Private Charles McDowell  1837 - 1913

Information from the book (see photo above) Ever True by Lisa Saunders who was his great- great granddaughter.

Private Charles enlisted in the New York Ninth Artillery in August 1862 and was mustered out in late July 1865. During that four years of the Civil War, the newly married couple exchanged letters which survive to this day and were documented in this book. These letters are poignant and tender, "homey" in their diction, and so direct. Future generations will be in debt to this correspondence that tells about an ordinary soldier living through extraordinary times.
