Witch's grave

On the Sculpture Park road, on the way to Springville, a grave marker sits in the woods about 30 feet back from the road. There are no houses for at least a quarter mile in either direction. Yet, someone, mysteriously, mows the grass leading to and around the grave site. We affectionately call this place the witch's grave. In fact, it is the resting place for Lewis Disch, 1794-1882, his wife Salome, 1798-1862, and their daughter Sophia, 1833-1909.
