There is an unusual story I was told about Amos. It seems he was killed while trying to fly. He had made a set of wings, probably similar to a modern glider. He told the group of people that were watching him that if he was killed to bury him at the base of a large tree he was going to jump out of. He glided down a long valley about a mile when a gust of wind made him loose control and he fell to his death. Note the dates. He must have been very advanced in his thinking.
Directions: From the intersection of Rt 166 and Rt 40 business east of Brownsville, go south on Rt 166 for 3.7 miles and turn left on Filbert Orient Road. Go 1.4 miles and turn sharp left on Bunker Hill Road. Go 0.6 miles to the top of the hill and the single stone is on your left 10 feet off the road.
