"This marker is located just 0.125 miles off the North Point Road on a canoe access path going to the point where the Raquette River enters Long Lake. There are two New York State Department of Environmental Conservation camp sites in close proximity to this marker. At the present time, we do not know if this is an actual grave site or if it is simply a marker in memorandum for the deceased."
