The Williamsburg Cemetery contains the burial sites of three Underground Railroad operatives: Charles B. Huber (1806-1854); Dr. Leavitt Thaxter Pease (1809-1874); Samuel Peterson (1836-1921). Peterson, a stonemason by trade, assisted C. B. Huber in Underground Railroad operations. He would carry food to the fugitives at the Huber place and transport them by wagon to the next stop in either Brown or Clinton Counties. (Gay St., Williamsburg - “between 8th St. & 5th St.”)
