History:

There are rumored to have been graves on the old Basketmaker farm, on top of the mountain in Castanea Township.  This farm has long been abandoned, and grown into weeds.  No graves have been located; however, many years ago, a homeowner on Guardlock Drive sent some young boys over to the mountain to collect stones to help build a retaining wall.  One of them was discovered to have an inscription.  The stone is in the wall at the home of J. Casey Watson, 511 East Guardlock Drive, Lock Haven, PA.
