Alvin H. Striker - Tribes Hill - New York - Improved Order of Red Men on Waymarking.com

This one was found well searching for the grave of a U.S. Congressmen that is buried here. I wasn't sure what it was at first and through some forum help and research quickly learned of America's Oldest Fraternity. T.O.T.E refers to Totem Of The Eagle.

This one was actually placed on the wrong plot and at first I thought it may have been the given tribal name for the I.O.R.M. but I was wrong. The real Alvin H. Striker was a few plots over so I replaced the marker where it belongs.

This is located in Tribes Hill, New York a place named because it was a preferred meeting place of several different local tribes. This was the stomping ground of the six-nations. To find this waymark take Route 5 out of Amsterdam and head towards Fonda. When you see Sir William Johnson's Fort (on your right) keep an eye out for your next left. Turn left onto Mohawk Drive and follow this all the way to the cemetery, which is across the street from the Tribes Hill Fire Dept. You'll probably see their Firemen's Memorial in front of the cemetery before you see the cemetery. Happy Waymarking, Swizzle & Family
