Wood-Buffet Cemetery
Dix Hills, Huntington, Suffolk County, LI, NY

    This historic cemetery is located on Deer Park Avenue just north of the intersection with Wolf Hill Road. Mrs. Nellie R. Scudder called it "Dix Hills Cemetery" when she made her inventory about 1910. According to the 1990 booklet "Huntington Historic Cemeteries," this graveyard was in use for burials until at least 1980. The cemetery is a Town of Huntington Local Historic Site. Data on it can be found in the "Scudder Collection of Long Island Genealogical Records," available at the Huntington Historical Society or on L. D. S. microfilm. The following data was submitted by David Roberts.  It does not include persons with the surname WOOD, since they were submitted at an earlier date. Material added by the submitter is enclosed in brackets [    ] and is from his published "Deaths Reported by the 'Long Islander' 1878-1890" or his on-line "Deaths Reported by the 'Long Islander' 1891-1900" available on line at this site.
