The Fogg Place

These pictures were taken at a place in Waite that used to be called the "Fogg Place". Ephriam Fogg was one of the first settlers of Waite, in 1832.  His descendants would have lived here in the middle to late 1800s through the early 1900s.
 
Here is the first well I found, it was rock lined well and about eight feet deep.

This is the second well I found, also rock lined and about eight feet deep.

It is hard to tell, but this is the cellar hole. It was quite big and very much over grown with trees and bushes. That big rock standing up in the back could be another gravestone (with no inscriptions) or a foundation rock.

This is the dump area, lots of broken glass and metal.

This was in the winter, but Wyatt is standing on the rock wall that surrounds the Fogg Place.



Fogg Grave

This grave was found before the other graveyard, and about three hundred yards away. We restored the grave as you will see the before and after pictures.
 
 
This is when we first found it, under two trees and on top of a big rock.

We dragged it out to have a better look, it was huge and heavy.

We had some snowfall before we could make it out again, but that did not stop us.

This would be a foot stone maybe. We cleaned it up and then brought it back as you will see in the next picture.

This was the in the spring time after that winter. We cut the two trees up, and pieced the foot stone back together.

Old Cemetery

This grave yard was found in Talmadge. It has the following last names inscribed on the graves: Neale, Neal, and Wheaton. The graves date from 1816-1985. We cleaned up the graveyard and took pictures to document it.
This is the grave yard. I stumbled upon it while exploring. As you can see, it is in the middle of the forest.
