• Notes

  The Coomer road, on the west side of the town [Newfane], running from the Lake road, on a line parallel with the west line of the town and three-quarters of a mile east of it, to the south line, was established in the early history of Newfane by Benjamin Coomer [Sr], who lived upon its line and was quite an influential man in the town. He died October 26th, 1817 and was buried in the village cemetery at Olcott. A common field stone marks his resting place, and only his name and the above date can be traced, the rest having scaled off by the action of the atmosphere. [8, 9]
