Inscription
George Moss was the victim of an unsolved murder that remains a cold case today. His body was found on July 7, 1911, in the tail race of Ash & Murgatroyd's Crescent Paper Mill on the Oswego River in the village of Phoenix, NY. He had not yet been identified, so he was buried that same day in an anonymous, unmarked grave in Section 2, Lot 28 of the Phoenix Rural Cemetery. An investigation later revealed that he was likely a Italian immigrant with the anglicized name of George Moss, who had worked for the New York Central Railroad. In September 2022, Sweet-Woods Memorials of Phoenix, NY, donated and installed a monument to mark his grave.
