Red Brick Church Meeting House in Sodus, NY

From the Town of Sodus Historical Society.

This is where the Brick Church Cemetery is located.

The single American fatality from the Battle of Sodus Point in 1813, Asher Warner is laid to rest in the cemetery  along with over twenty soldiers of the American Revolution and the War of 1812.  And there are over 140 honored veterans of domestic and foreign conflicts also laid to rest.

Another person who was very influential  in the establishment of the meeting house was Elder Norton.  who initially was in charge of the volunteers who showed up to defend Sodus Point during the British attack in the War of 1812.

From Wayne NY Gen Web.

Located about six miles north of Lyons village, in the town of Sodus.  In the restoration of this cemetery, the stones were taken up, the land cleared and leveled, the stones replaced with no regards to family.  It is a tragic sight.
