From the March 22nd WIVB 4 "300 war dead buried under golf course."
The golf course in Delaware Park in Buffalo, New York, has a burial ground on it.
Three hundred War of 1812 soldiers who died from disease and exposure are buried there. A plaque on a stone on the course marks the site, but doesn't mention the 300. Two cannons also at the site were stolen in the 1980s.
