Buffalo Cemeteries, An Account of the Burial Places of Buffalo
From the Earliest Times
Read Before the Buffalo Historical Society, February 4, 1879
by WILLIAM HODGE
Pub. Bigelow Brothers, Buffalo, N.Y.; 1879

  [15]

                              THE TERRACE
                                -------

        The Terrace. —During the war of 1812, or as it was for a long time
     generally styled, the "Last War," there were many soldiers, and doubt-
     less some military attaches of the army, buried in and about the
     Terrace. There was a battery erected on the Terrace to defend the
     water approach by the channel of the creek near the opening about the
     foot of Genesee street. By this approach, the wounded in the various
     contests of 1814 were brought to the hospital on the Terrace, and the
     dead of the hospital were buried near it.
        I well remember, that when Church and Delaware streets were graded,
     many skeletons were dug up during the progress of the work; and one
     was in a coffin, and had military trappings on, that indicated the
     wearer to have been a lieutenant in the army.
