Does anyone have any info on A very ville, NY? It was a small town right outside of Lake Placid, NY, and seems to have few records of it existing.

Edit: Averyville. Spell check broke it up and I didn't notice.

Its now abandoned (as a town, its now part of Lake Placid) and I've been trying to locate its cemetery. All I have is a rough map drawn by someone who lives near where the town was.

I have a great Lake Placid/North Elba history book, and if my memory serves me correctly, I remember it referring to Averyville not really as it's own town. It seemed to be described more as a small settlement just out of town. The book is "Plains of Abraham" by Mary MacKenzie.

I am local to the area and I don't think there is a cemetery out there. I'll ask around though.
