What is now the property of the Buffalo Slag Company was a part of the original farm. Between the railroad track, which runs to the Wickwire plant, and a large pile of slag on the east side of the road, a burial plot containing several graves was a well known land-mark as late as the year 1880. In May of each year, two soldier's graves were decorated with a potted geranium and a tiny flag. The Scott Post No. 129 G. A. R. performed this service. How the burial plot came to be located there, just how many graves there were, and whether or not the bodies are under a pile of slag or were removed is not definitely known.
Tradition says that a man was buried underneath the floor of the house.
